Also known as: 1262/15; ALK3/BMPRII; BMP; CG10776; Dmel\CG10776; l(3)64Aa; l(3)S126215; l(3)SH12; SE20; Stk-D; STK-D; Wit; WIT; Wit-C; wiw
Summary: Enables BMP receptor activity and activin receptor activity, type II. Contributes to BMP binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of SMAD protein signal transduction; positive regulation of synaptic assembly at neuromuscular junction; and transforming growth factor beta receptor superfamily signaling pathway. Located in early endosome; recycling endosome; and synapse. Part of BMP receptor complex; activin receptor complex; and trans-synaptic protein complex. Is active in apical plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; amnioserosa; embryonic/larval midgut; ganglia; and larval neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in heart septal defect; primary pulmonary hypertension; pulmonary hypertension; and pulmonary venoocclusive disease 1. Orthologous to human BMPR2 (bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
