Peptide Name: KinSub3DDDYV

Product Use: For assaying the phosphotransferase activity of Activin receptor type-2B (ACTR2B, UniProt ID Q13705). The KinSub3DDDYV peptide demonstrated high phosphotransferase activity with Brk, and exhibited high specificity when assayed with over 200 other protein kinases. A listing of other kinases that show appreciable phosphotransferase activity towards this peptide are listed in Table 1.

Peptide Production Method: Solid-phase peptide synthesis

Peptide Origin: KinSub3DDDYV was originally identified using a microarray with peptides that were predicted as optimal substrates for 500 human protein kinases with a proprietary algorithm developed at Kinexus with our academic partners.

Scientific Background: ACTR2B is one of several protein kinases that can phosphorylate KinSub3DDDYV. Human ACTR2B is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of 512 amino acid length, with a predicted molecular mass of 57,724 Da. It is a member of the TKL group of protein kinases in the STKR family, and Type2 subfamily. This kinase is moderate to highly expressed in most tested human tissues. Orthologues of ACTR2B appear to be highly restricted in their distribution in non-simians. ACTR2B is activated by binding activin and is also known as the Activin A receptor, type IIB. Activins belong to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily of structurally related proteins that signal through a heteromeric complex of receptor-serine kinases, which include at least two type I (I and IB) and two type II (II and IIB) receptors (1). ACVR2B features a ligand-binding extracellular domain with cysteine-rich region, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain with predicted protein-serine/threonine kinase specificity. ACVR2B is help to regulate muscle growth (2). ACTR2B has been linked with the development of left-right axis malformations and visceral heterotaxy autosomal type 4 (htX4).
