The TGFβ type I receptor kinase (ALK5) is an attractive target for intervention in TGFβ signaling due to its druggability as well as its centrality and specificity in the pathway. A number of potent, selective ALK5 inhibitors have been discovered which interact with the ATP-binding site of ALK5.

Three TGFβ superfamily receptors specific for TGFβ, the TGFβ receptors, can be distinguished by their structural and functional properties. TGFβR1 (ALK5) and TGFβR2 have similar ligand-binding affinities and can be distinguished from each other only by peptide mapping.

2014年5月25日 · Our findings describe an unexpected role for ALK5-dependent TGF-β signaling as a regulator of the late stages of adult hippocampal neurogenesis, which may have implications for changes in...

Our findings describe an unexpected role for ALK5-dependent TGF-β signaling as a regulator of the late stages of adult hippocampal neurogenesis, which may have implications for changes in neurogenesis during aging and disease.

2019年5月1日 · Activin receptor-like kinase 5 (ALK5), also known as TGF-β type I receptor (TβRI), plays a key role in the canonical TGF-β signaling pathway.

2022年8月23日 · The TGFβ type I receptor kinase (ALK5) is an attractive target for intervention in TGFβ signaling due to its druggability as well as its centrality and specificity in the pathway. A no. of potent, selective ALK5 inhibitors have been discovered which interact with the ATP-binding site of …

2019年5月3日 · The present results show that neurons and microglia both use ALK4/5 (a type of TGF-β receptor) signaling in order to maintain mutual exchanges in an adult brain following an axonal injury. Indeed,...

2025年3月11日 · ALK5, also known as activin receptor-like kinase 5, is a key mediator of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling, which regulates proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. In the nervous system, ALK5 influences neurodevelopment by modulating neuronal survival, synaptic plasticity, and glial interactions.

2019年5月1日 · Our results suggested that the ALK5 signaling pathway plays a critical role in mediating neural plasticity and neurological function recovery via Gadd45b after cerebral ischemia, representing a new potential target for cerebral I/R injury.

2025年3月19日 · Activin receptor-like kinase 5 (ALK5) is a type I receptor serine/threonine kinase and responsible for the TGF-β signaling pathway. ALK5 is thought to be a key player in the tumor microenvironment to promote tumor progression by affecting the anticancer immunity. Therefore, ALK5 is an attractive drug target for modulating TGF-β signaling pathways to improve the …
