ABSTRACT:
An isolated TGF-.beta. supergene family (TSF) receptor polypeptide is provided. This polypeptide preferably is an inhibin/activin receptor polypeptide and has at least 75% sequence identity with the mature human inhibin/activin receptor sequence. Also provided is a method for purifying TGF-.beta. supergene family members such as inhibin or activin using the polypeptide, and a method for screening for compounds with TGF-.beta. supergene family member activity by contacting the compound with the polypeptide and detecting if binding has occurred and the compound is active.
