Abstract

The invention relates to two members of the receptor family referred to as activin-like kinases. These two members are referred to as ALK-3 and ALK-6. The proteins have activin/TGF-.beta. type I receptor functionality, and may have a serine/threonine kinase domain, a DFKSRN or DLKSKN sequence in subdomain V1B, and/or a GTKRYM sequence in subdomain VIII.
