Molecular characteristic of activin receptor IIB and its functions in growth and nutrient regulation in Eriocheir sinensis
Activin receptor IIB (ActRIIB) is a serine/threonine-kinase receptor binding with transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily ligands to participate in the regulation of muscle mass in vertebrates. However, its structure and function in crustaceans remain unknown. In this study, the ActRIIB gen...
