Sotatercept is an activin signalling inhibitor with high selectivity for Activin-A, a dimeric glycoprotein which belongs to the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily of ligands. Activin-A binds to the activin receptor type IIA (ActRIIA) regulating key signalling for inflammation, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and tissue homeostasis. |
