Term Information

Accession
GO:0017002
Name
activin receptor activity
Ontology
molecular_function
Synonyms
activin-activated receptor activity
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
Combining with activin and transmitting the signal from one side of the membrane to the other to initiate a change in cell activity. Activin is one of two gonadal glycoproteins related to transforming growth factor beta. Source: GOC:signaling, ISBN:0198506732, GOC:mah
Comment
Note that this term represents an activity and not a gene product, and should only be used when the receptor binds the ligand activin. For binding to other extracellular ligands, consider annotating to terms under 'transmembrane signaling receptor activity ; GO:0004888.
