Background
ALK4 (Activin Receptor-Like Kinase 4), officially designated ACVR1B (Activin A Receptor Type 1B), is a transmembrane serine/threonine kinase receptor belonging to the TGF-β (Transforming Growth Factor-beta) receptor superfamily. It functions as a type I receptor that is essential for transducing signals from activins and several other TGF-β family ligands, including GDFs (Growth Differentiation Factors). ALK4 does not bind ligand independently. It is activated upon recruitment by a ligand-bound type II receptor (ACVR2A or ACVR2B). The type II receptor phosphorylates ALK4 within its GS domain, activating its kinase. Activated ALK4 then phosphorylates the intracellular signaling effectors SMAD2 and SMAD3. Phosphorylated SMAD2/3 complex with SMAD4 and translocate to the nucleus to regulate target gene transcription.
Protocol
Assay protocol
Principle: The ALK4 assay is performed using the ADP-GloTM Kinase Assay kit which quantifies the amount of ADP produced by the ALK4 reaction. The ADP-GloTM Reagent is added to terminate the kinase reaction and to deplete the remaining ATP, and then the Kinase Detection Reagent is added to convert ADP to ATP and to measure the newly synthesized ATP using luciferase/luciferin reaction.
