Sotatercept |
Sotatercept-csrk, a recombinant activin receptor type IIA-Fc (ActRIIA-Fc) fusion protein, is an activin signaling inhibitor that binds to activin A and other TGF-β superfamily ligands. As a result, sotatercept-csrk improves the balance between the pro-proliferative (ActRIIA/Smad2/3-mediated) and anti-proliferative (BMPRII/Smad1/5/8-mediated) signaling to modulate vascular proliferation. |
