[1] to the rescue.

Function

Activin receptors (Acvr) are integral to the activin and myostatin signalling pathway. Binding of activin to the Acvr on muscle cell membrane leads to enhanced muscle protein breakdown and debilitating loss of muscle mass and functional capacity[2].

Disease

A mutation in Acrv1 exists in individuals with the rare developmental disorder fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva[3].

Relevance

Increased activin/Acvr2 signalling links aging and heart failure pathobiology and that targeted inhibition of this catabolic pathway may form a therapeutic strategy for multiple forms of hear failure[4].
