Activins, members of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily, govern embryonic axial patterning.
[1]
ActRIIB-mediated signaling controls both AP pattern of the axial skeleton and lateral asymmetry of heart and lungs.
[2]
Both ActRIIA and ActRIIB are expressed in the primordia of foregut organs, including lungs, stomach, intestines, and pancreas.
[3]
Type II activin receptors are crucial for normal development of many foregut organs, and these receptors have a particularly critical role in development and function of the endocrine pancreas.
