Background :

BAMBI/NMA is a type I transmembrane protein that shares sequence homology with the TGF-beta type I receptor family protein but has a short cytoplasmic region that lacks the kinase domain. It functions as a membrane-bound decoy receptor by competing with type I receptors to form a heterodimer with type II receptors. Mouse BAMBI/NMA share approximately 93% amino acid sequence homology with human BAMBI/NMA.
