- Background
- Bimagrumab is a monoclonal anti-ActRIIA/IIB antibody that targets ActRIIA and ActRIIB simultaneously. Native ActRIIA and ActRIIB are both mediators of signaling from several TGFβ superfamily members such as activins, myostatin, and GDF11. Hence, pan-blockade by Bimagrumab achieves greater effect than a monoclonal antibody against either receptor alone, i.e. monotherapy with anti-ActRIIA antibody or anti-ActRIIB antibody. Bimagrumab has been explored as a therapy for sporadic inclusion body myositis, primary sarcopenia, and muscle wasting associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.<br>• Activin A inhibits BMP-signaling by binding ACVR2A and ACVR2B., PMID:26047946<br/>• BMPR2 inhibits activin and BMP signaling via wild-type ALK2., PMID:29739878<br/>• ALK2/ALK3-BMPR2/ACVR2A Mediate BMP2-Induced Downregulation of Pentraxin 3 Expression in Human Granulosa-Lutein Cells., PMID:28977600<br/>• Follicular localization of growth differentiation factor 8 and its receptors in normal and polycystic ovary syndrome ovaries., PMID:29409020<br/>
