Gene Description

BMPR1A (ALK3) is a single-pass cell-surface BMP receptor with an extracellular ligand-binding domain and an intracellular serine/threonine kinase domain. It recognizes BMP-family ligands in complexes with type II receptors; activation of its kinase couples extracellular signals to receptor-regulated SMADs. Ligand preference and output depend on receptor partners and cellular context. This signaling supports skeletal and cardiovascular development, differentiation and hepatic hepcidin regulation. BMPR1A also supplies type I receptor signaling in the AMH pathway during MΓΌllerian-duct regression.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: BMPR1A-dependent BMP signaling supports angiogenesis in the HT-29 tumor model (PMID:24882581).
Reason: The perturbation study connects BMPR1A/BMP/SMAD/ID1 signaling to vascularization of colon-cancer xenografts. Retain this experimental process assertion in its tumor context; the defining molecular activity is receptor kinase signaling, rather than an angiogenesis-specific enzyme.

GO_REF:0000107
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Mouse orthology supports an osteoblast-differentiation role of human BMPR1A.
Reason: The GO_REF:0000107 transfer from mouse P36895 is consistent with human mesenchymal-cell receptor perturbation in PMID:18436533. Retain the developmental outcome as non-core; the receptor transduces BMP signals rather than executing the osteoblast transcriptional program itself.

Summary: BMPR1A-mediated GDF5 signaling contributes to chondrocyte differentiation.
Reason: The mouse orthology transfer is compatible with the GDF5 receptor function summarized in UniProt and the ligand/receptor experiments of PMID:24098149. GDF5 preference for BMPR1B does not eliminate lower-affinity BMPR1A binding. Retain this tissue-specific consequence of receptor activity.

GO:0004672 protein kinase activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
ACCEPT
Summary: BMPR1A has intrinsic protein kinase activity.
Reason: The InterPro-derived kinase annotation fits the cytoplasmic catalytic domain and established type I receptor phosphorylation mechanism. The broader term is correct alongside the more specific receptor serine/threonine kinase and BMP receptor terms; it need not be deleted as redundant.

ACCEPT
Summary: BMPR1A is a catalytically active serine/threonine kinase (PMID:12065756).
Reason: The inhibitor paper includes BMP-receptor comparators, and indexed publisher Methods identify activated human ALK3. Its ALK4/5/7-focused title is not a wrong-gene argument. Retain the established kinase activity with curator deference; the original construct-specific biochemical results were not independently read in full.
GO:0004675 transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: BMPR1A is a transmembrane receptor serine/threonine kinase.
Reason: The integrated electronic annotation matches the ligand-binding extracellular domain, single membrane helix and intracellular kinase domain of human P36894. Type II receptors activate the type I receptor, which supplies the subsequent SMAD-directed catalytic step.

Summary: Activated BMPR1A performs the type I receptor kinase step upstream of SMADs.
Reason: R-HSA-201476 explicitly describes phosphorylation of R-SMAD1/5/8 by activated type I receptors. This is BMPR1A catalytic activity, distinct from the upstream phosphorylation of BMPR1A by a type II receptor.

Summary: The PAINT assertion uses the conventional TGF-beta-superfamily type I receptor designation.
Reason: PANTHER:PTN000584016 records a curator phylogenetic inference; target P36894 among its supporting entities is legitimate experimental grounding, not circularity. All six cached BMPR1A GO-CAM activities also use GO:0005025. Retain this curated usage, while using GO:0098821 BMP receptor activity for the core and flagging the current ligand-specific term definition for clarification. It should not be read as new evidence for direct TGF-beta-ligand binding.

Summary: Full-length BMPR1A associates with ACVR1 in receptor-complex experiments.
Reason: PMID:18436533 uses human receptor fusion constructs in HEK-293 BRET saturation/competition experiments, supporting association with ACVR1/Q04771. Retain the interaction as non-core: this is not a purified pairwise binding or fixed-stoichiometry measurement, and no more specific molecular activity follows from the association alone. The scoped retention preserves supported biology despite the repository preference for more informative binding terms.

Summary: GDF5 binding is compatible with a lower-affinity BMPR1A interaction.
Reason: PMID:19229295 contrasts receptor-binding surfaces and GDF5 preference for BMPR1B; it does not establish complete absence of BMPR1A binding. Combined with direct comparisons in PMID:16127465 and PMID:24098149, the P43026 assertion can be refined to BMP binding. Preserve ligand- and variant-dependent affinity rather than transfer BMPR1B high affinity to BMPR1A.

Summary: ATP binding is part of the BMPR1A kinase mechanism.
Reason: Retain the PMID:12065756 experimental assertion with curator deference: activated human ALK3 is present in the indexed Methods, while the original ATP-binding assay was not independently retrieved. The ATP-dependent receptor catalytic mechanism is corroborated by UniProt and R-HSA-201476. This does not infer kinase inactivity from the inhibitor paper title.
GO:0005524 ATP binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: BMPR1A uses ATP for receptor kinase catalysis.
Reason: The integrated electronic ATP-binding annotation is consistent with the conserved intracellular kinase domain and ATP-dependent catalytic reactions recorded in UniProt. It describes a component of the same receptor mechanism, not a separate core function.

ACCEPT
Summary: BMPR1A signals from the plasma membrane and is retained there by TGFBR3.
Reason: PMID:19726563 distinguishes TGFBR3-mediated ALK3 surface retention from beta-arrestin-linked ALK6 internalization. Retain the experimentally supported plasma-membrane location without transferring the ALK6 trafficking mechanism to BMPR1A.

GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: Plasma-membrane localization is conserved for BMPR1A.
Reason: The PAINT node-based inference agrees with receptor topology and direct ALK3 surface-trafficking evidence. No target-specific loss or relocation contradicts the ancestral localization; donor number is not a measure of IBA quality.

ACCEPT
Summary: BMPR1A localizes to membrane domains that include caveolin-associated regions.
Reason: The PMID:15657086 abstract directly describes BRIa distribution relative to caveolin domains. Retain plasma-membrane location; caveolin alpha/beta isoforms in that paper do not imply BMPR1A isoforms, and BRII-focused immunoprecipitation conclusions should not be transferred wholesale.
Supporting Evidence:

Summary: BMPR1A can occupy caveolin-associated plasma-membrane domains.
Reason: PMID:15657086 supports a caveolar distribution context for BRIa, which is narrower than its general cell-surface localization.

UNDECIDED
Summary: A BMPR1A polymorphism association does not resolve a direct immune-response role.
Reason: PMID:16886151 reports candidate SNP associations with bacteremia in sickle-cell anemia. The accessible abstract does not identify the molecular or cellular immune-response step executed by BMPR1A or the full basis of the curated IMP row. Keep the source assertion pending fuller evidence; do not convert association into a defining immune function or claim the annotation is wrong.
GO:0007178 cell surface receptor protein serine/threonine kinase signaling pathway
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
ACCEPT
Summary: BMPR1A carries out cell-surface serine/threonine receptor signaling.
Reason: The InterPro mapping matches the intrinsic receptor kinase architecture and the type II-to-type I-to-SMAD sequence of catalytic activation. BMP signaling is the more specific mechanistic instance already represented in the source rows.

UNDECIDED
Summary: The human ALK3/Integrator arm supports BMP-superfamily signaling, but the specific TGF-beta pathway assertion needs clarification.
Reason: PMID:36641752 includes human experiments; indexed primary discussion explicitly identifies engineered Alk3 QD. It is not a wrong-gene or Drosophila-only reference. The accessible material does not independently establish wild-type BMPR1A participation in a TGF-beta-ligand-specific pathway rather than BMP signaling.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: The ALK3 cloning evidence supports receptor-family membership, but not this specific TGF-beta pathway assignment.
Reason: PMID:8397373 predicts TGF-beta-superfamily receptor membership from human ALK3 sequence and topology. That prediction is broader than GO:0007179, which specifies a TGF-beta receptor signaling pathway; BMP signaling has its own term, GO:0030509. Mark this TAS pathway attribution as over-specific relative to the evidence described in the accessible abstract. This is not evidence that BMPR1A cannot participate in TGF-beta cross-talk, nor a claim that the unread full text excludes it. Independently supported BMP signaling is already reviewed in its existing rows, so no replacement duplicate is added.

ACCEPT
Summary: BMPR1A presents its ligand-binding domain on the external side of the plasma membrane.
Reason: PMID:24904118 reports increased cell-surface ALK3 accumulation following HFE association; the location is compatible with its extracellular ligand-binding domain and membrane topology. Retain the source annotation without equating cell-surface detection with demonstration of the complete HFE–transferrin-receptor complex.
GO:0009953 dorsal/ventral pattern formation
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: BMPR1A contributes to conserved BMP-dependent dorsal–ventral patterning.
Reason: The PAINT inference is a phylogenetic assertion about developmental signaling, not a pairwise donor transfer. This broad developmental output is consistent with BMP receptor biology but is not a separate defining molecular activity. No loss-of-function evidence specific to the human receptor contradicts the placement.
GO:0009986 cell surface

Reason: PMID:24882581 links BMPR1A/BMP/SMAD signaling with ID1 expression and tumor phenotypes. Retain the positive-regulation assertion as a downstream cellular outcome; BMPR1A does not itself bind DNA or act as a transcription factor.
GO:0010629 negative regulation of gene expression
ISS
GO_REF:0000024

Summary: The mouse orthology assertion records a context in which BMPR1A signaling reduces gene expression.
Reason: GO_REF:0000024 transfers a curated mouse P36895 outcome. Positive and negative transcriptional consequences can differ by target gene, cell type and signaling context; they are not contradictory molecular activities. Retain the source-level consequence as non-core without inventing an unread target-gene assay.

ISS NOT
GO_REF:0000024
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: The NOT assertion is retained as a bounded mouse developmental observation, not universal absence of an apoptosis role.
Reason: The source is an ISS transfer from mouse P36895. PMID:18667463 provides compatible SM22alpha-Cre E10.5–E11 evidence of reduced myocardial proliferation without enhanced TUNEL staining, while contrasting later deletion contexts with increased apoptosis. Preserve negation and restrict interpretation to the observed developmental setting; this paper is corroboration, not a verified reconstruction of the original donor chain.

Summary: BMPR1A restrains basal smooth-muscle migration while enabling a stimulated migratory response.
Reason: Selected Methods and Results of PMID:18667463 show increased basal migration after BMPR1A knockdown in human pulmonary-artery smooth-muscle cells, but loss of PDGF-BB-directed migration after serum starvation. The negative-regulation term is defensible for the basal condition. Retain it as context-specific and do not reverse its direction from the abstract alone.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: BMPR1A mediates conserved BMP-dependent differentiation responses.
Reason: The PAINT inference is consistent with receptor signaling in several lineages, including human mesenchymal-cell differentiation in PMID:18436533. Retain this broad developmental process as non-core rather than identify it with a single tissue-specific phenotype.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: A rat orthology transfer places BMPR1A in dendrites.
Reason: The GO_REF:0000107 sources are rat Q78EA7/ENSRNOP00000074885, not mouse. Preserve this neuronal-location assertion as non-core; it is not a direct human localization measurement, and soluble BMPR1A-Fc inhibition of BMP5 in PMID:11580864 does not independently prove endogenous dendritic receptor localization.

IEA
GO_REF:0000117

Summary: Electronic evidence links BMPR1A signaling to bone mineralization.
Reason: The ARBA assertion is consistent with the osteogenic BMP response, but mineralization is a tissue-level outcome of receptor signaling. Retain it as non-core without treating a ligand-induced mineralization assay as a direct biochemical activity of BMPR1A.

GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: BMPR1A is a conserved signaling receptor in the BMP pathway.
Reason: The PAINT node-based inference agrees with direct ligand/receptor and downstream SMAD evidence. The receptor is an active catalytic signaling component, not simply a downstream substrate or marker; there is no target-specific evidence of functional loss.

Summary: Human BMPR1A transduces BMP signals in receptor perturbation experiments.
Reason: PMID:18436533 demonstrates preferential utilization of BMPR1A by BMP2/4 in human bone-marrow mesenchymal cells. Receptor dependence varies with ligand and cell context; the study does not make BMPR1A the sole receptor for all BMPs.

Summary: HFE regulates BMP output by associating with the ALK3/BMPR1A receptor.

Summary: Activated BMPR1A drives the BMP/SMAD arm examined in the SMAD4 study.
Reason: Selected canonical Methods of PMID:9389648 explicitly use BMPR-IA(Q233D) with BMP4 stimulation. Retain BMP signaling; the experimental receptor is an activated construct and the paper’s nuclear transcriptional functions belong to SMAD complexes, not BMPR1A itself.

Summary: BMPR1A signaling can promote RNA polymerase II-dependent gene expression.
Reason: GO:0045944 describes positive regulation of Pol II transcription, not transcription itself. BMPR1A activates R-SMAD effectors that regulate transcription, and ALK3-dependent promoter responses in PMID:18326817 corroborate this broad ARBA inference.

PMID:18667463 provides compatible mouse SM22alpha-Cre evidence for reduced myocardial proliferation and ventricular-wall abnormalities, without identifying it as the original donor experiment.

IDA
PMID:24904118
HFE interacts with the BMP type I receptor ALK3 to regulate ...
ACCEPT
Summary: ALK3 stabilization by HFE increases downstream SMAD1/5/8 signaling.
Reason: PMID:24904118 links HFE–ALK3 association and surface receptor abundance to BMP/SMAD output. Retain the positive SMAD-signaling assertion as part of the receptor mechanism, without inferring a complete HFE–transferrin-receptor assembly.

Dual role of the Smad4/DPC4 tumor suppressor in TGFbeta-indu...
ACCEPT
Summary: Activated BMPR1A supports the SMAD1 signaling arm.
Reason: PMID:9389648 uses activated BMPR-IA(Q233D) and BMP4 in the canonical Methods, separating receptor activation from SMAD4-dependent transcriptional functions. Retain positive SMAD signaling while respecting the engineered receptor and assay context.
Supporting Evidence:

ACCEPT
Summary: BMPR1A perturbation alters downstream SMAD signaling in HT-29 cells.
Reason: PMID:24882581 links reduced BMPR1A to reduced BMP/SMAD/ID1 signaling. The mechanistic receptor-to-SMAD role is core even though the experimental tumor/angiogenesis consequences are context-specific.
GO:0060412 ventricular septum morphogenesis
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Mouse-derived evidence supports ventricular-septum morphogenesis downstream of BMPR1A signaling.
Reason: Retain the automated Ensembl orthology assertion from mouse P36895 for formation of the ventricular septum. This is a plausible conserved developmental use of BMPR1A signaling, not a separate molecular activity. The exact donor assay was not independently reconstructed; the source transfer is preserved rather than presented as a human developmental experiment.
GO:0060412 ventricular septum morphogenesis
ISS
GO_REF:0000024
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Mouse-derived evidence supports ventricular-septum morphogenesis downstream of BMPR1A signaling.
Reason: Retain the curator-reviewed orthology assertion from mouse P36895 for formation of the ventricular septum. This is a plausible conserved developmental use of BMPR1A signaling, not a separate molecular activity. The exact donor assay was not independently reconstructed; the source transfer is preserved rather than presented as a human developmental experiment.
GO:0060928 atrioventricular node cell development
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Mouse-derived evidence supports atrioventricular-node cell development downstream of BMPR1A signaling.
Reason: Retain the automated Ensembl orthology assertion from mouse P36895 for development of specialized atrioventricular conduction cells. This is a plausible conserved developmental use of BMPR1A signaling, not a separate molecular activity. The exact donor assay was not independently reconstructed; the source transfer is preserved rather than presented as a human developmental experiment.

Summary: Mouse-derived evidence supports pharyngeal-arch artery morphogenesis downstream of BMPR1A signaling.
Reason: Retain the automated Ensembl orthology assertion from mouse P36895 for development of the pharyngeal arch arteries. This is a plausible conserved developmental use of BMPR1A signaling, not a separate molecular activity. The exact donor assay was not independently reconstructed; the source transfer is preserved rather than presented as a human developmental experiment.

Reason: Retain the curator-reviewed orthology assertion from mouse P36895 for development of the pharyngeal arch arteries. This is a plausible conserved developmental use of BMPR1A signaling, not a separate molecular activity. The exact donor assay was not independently reconstructed; the source transfer is preserved rather than presented as a human developmental experiment.
GO:0071363 cellular response to growth factor stimulus
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: BMPR1A mediates a conserved cellular response to extracellular growth factors.
Reason: The PAINT process assertion is biologically consistent with BMP ligand reception, but this broad response term adds no separate defining mechanism beyond BMP receptor signaling. Retain it as non-core without challenging ancestral placement on donor-count grounds.
GO:0071773 cellular response to BMP stimulus
IMP
PMID:18326817
Hemojuvelin regulates hepcidin expression via a selective su...
ACCEPT
Summary: ALK3/BMPR1A participates in cellular responses to BMP ligands.
Reason: PMID:18326817 examines HJV-supported BMP signaling, with selected archived full text supporting ALK3-dependent reporter responses in hepatoma-cell contexts. This is compatible with the receptor mechanism; receptor preference remains ligand- and cell-dependent.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:18326817

ACCEPT
Summary: BMPR1A has BMP receptor activity.
Reason: The PMID:12065756 annotation is consistent with the human ALK3 construct identified in indexed Methods and independent ligand-binding/signaling studies. Retain the experimental assertion with curator deference despite incomplete access to the original full assays; it defines the ligand-coupled receptor kinase mechanism.
GO:0098821 BMP receptor activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: The integrated annotation correctly identifies BMPR1A as a BMP receptor.
Reason: Extracellular BMP recognition coupled to a transmembrane serine/threonine kinase and SMAD signaling is the defining activity of human P36894. This is more specific for core synthesis than the broad historical TGF-beta-superfamily type I designation.
GO:0098821 BMP receptor activity
ISS
GO_REF:0000024
ACCEPT
Summary: The mouse-to-human receptor-activity transfer agrees with direct human BMPR1A evidence.
Reason: The curated P36895 orthology assertion is supported independently by human receptor ligand-binding and signaling studies. Retain BMP receptor activity without implying every mouse developmental phenotype has been measured in humans.
GO:1900006 positive regulation of dendrite development

PMID:11580864
Bone morphogenetic protein-5 (BMP-5) promotes dendritic grow...
UNDECIDED
Summary: Soluble BMPR1A-Fc inhibits BMP5-driven dendrites, but endogenous receptor-specific participation remains unresolved.
Reason: PMID:11580864 uses a soluble receptor ectodomain as a ligand trap in cultured sympathetic neurons; selected primary text explicitly leaves endogenous neuronal receptor binding open. The corresponding GO-CAM is curator evidence for a BMP5 dendrite-growth context, not an additional endogenous-receptor experiment. Keep the TAS assertion pending clarification of receptor-specific evidence; do not treat ligand interception as a BMPR1A knockout.
GO:1902895 positive regulation of miRNA transcription
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
UNDECIDED
Summary: The specific mouse-to-human miRNA-transcription transfer remains unresolved.
Reason: The GO_REF:0000107 transfer names mouse P36895 and ENSMUSP00000035900, but the original donor experiment could not be recovered in the targeted source check. General BMP/SMAD-dependent gene induction does not establish this particular miRNA-transcription claim or distinguish transcription from miRNA processing. Preserve the source assertion pending donor evidence; the absence of receptor DNA binding is not the basis for doubt.
GO:1904414 positive regulation of cardiac ventricle development
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Mouse-derived evidence supports promotion of cardiac ventricle development downstream of BMPR1A signaling.
Reason: Retain the automated Ensembl orthology assertion from mouse P36895 for growth and development of the cardiac ventricles. This is a plausible conserved developmental use of BMPR1A signaling, not a separate molecular activity. The exact donor assay was not independently reconstructed; the source transfer is preserved rather than presented as a human developmental experiment. PMID:18667463 provides compatible mouse SM22alpha-Cre evidence for reduced myocardial proliferation and ventricular-wall abnormalities, without identifying it as the original donor experiment.

GO:1904707 positive regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle cell proliferation
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Orthology supports promotion of vascular smooth-muscle proliferation by BMPR1A.
Reason: The mouse-derived GO_REF:0000107 transfer is consistent with human pulmonary smooth-muscle perturbations in PMID:18667463. Preserve the donor provenance and retain the proliferation outcome as non-core rather than merge it with the distinct basal/stimulated migration effects.
GO:1904707 positive regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle cell proliferation

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: BMPR1A supports growth of human pulmonary-artery smooth-muscle cells.
Reason: PMID:18667463 includes human-cell RNAi, proliferation assays and cell counts alongside mouse developmental experiments. Retain the positive proliferation assertion in that cellular context; it is separate from the paper’s condition-dependent effects on migration.
GO:1905285 fibrous ring of heart morphogenesis
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Mouse-derived evidence supports cardiac fibrous-ring morphogenesis downstream of BMPR1A signaling.
Reason: Retain the automated Ensembl orthology assertion from mouse P36895 for formation of the fibrous support at the atrioventricular junction. This is a plausible conserved developmental use of BMPR1A signaling, not a separate molecular activity. The exact donor assay was not independently reconstructed; the source transfer is preserved rather than presented as a human developmental experiment.
GO:1905285 fibrous ring of heart morphogenesis
ISS
GO_REF:0000024
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Mouse-derived evidence supports cardiac fibrous-ring morphogenesis downstream of BMPR1A signaling.
Reason: Retain the curator-reviewed orthology assertion from mouse P36895 for formation of the fibrous support at the atrioventricular junction. This is a plausible conserved developmental use of BMPR1A signaling, not a separate molecular activity. The exact donor assay was not independently reconstructed; the source transfer is preserved rather than presented as a human developmental experiment.
GO:1905292 regulation of neural crest cell differentiation
ISS NOT
GO_REF:0000024
UNDECIDED
Summary: The neural-crest NOT assertion requires an exact donor-source and timing reconciliation.
Reason: Preserve the source ISS transfer from mouse P36895 and its negation. Early versus later conditional deletion studies can distinguish initial neural-crest differentiation from subsequent cardiac/neural-crest requirements, but the exact original donor evidence chain has not been verified. Do not infer a universal absence of BMPR1A involvement or remove negation from a positive phenotype in another Cre/stage context.
GO:1990262 anti-Mullerian hormone receptor signaling pathway

Requirement of Bmpr1a for MΓΌllerian duct regression during m...
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Bmpr1a functions as a type I receptor in AMH-dependent MΓΌllerian-duct regression.
Reason: PMID:12368913 uses conditional mouse deletion in duct-associated mesenchyme and identifies Bmpr1a as part of the AMH pathway. Preserve the original IDA evidence code, but describe the actual genetic/developmental evidence rather than claim a human purified AMH-binding assay. This developmental use of the shared receptor machinery is retained as non-core.
GO:1990262 anti-Mullerian hormone receptor signaling pathway
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Mouse orthology supports BMPR1A participation in the AMH receptor pathway.
Reason: GO_REF:0000107 transfers the conserved type I receptor role; PMID:12368913 provides compatible mouse mesenchymal genetics. Retain the pathway context without replacing BMPR1A’s principal BMP receptor core or inferring that all AMH signaling uses it exclusively.
GO:1990712 HFE-transferrin receptor complex

PMID:24904118
HFE interacts with the BMP type I receptor ALK3 to regulate ...
UNDECIDED
Summary: Pairwise HFE–ALK3 association does not yet resolve membership in the complete HFE–transferrin-receptor complex.
Reason: GO:1990712 requires HFE with a transferrin receptor. PMID:24904118 directly supports HFE–ALK3 association, while indexed primary discussion describes weak TFR2 interaction and a possible HFE/TFR2/HJV/ALK3 assembly. The supplemental figure was not independently inspected. Preserve the IC assertion and its GO:0005515 support, but leave complete assembly uncertain rather than equate pairwise binding with a demonstrated complex.
GO:1990712 HFE-transferrin receptor complex
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
UNDECIDED
Summary: The electronic HFE–transferrin-receptor complex assignment inherits unresolved assembly specificity.
Reason: ARBA:ARBA00088952 supplies this source assertion. The HFE–ALK3 association in PMID:24904118 supports a regulatory interaction but does not independently establish the full transferrin-receptor-containing assembly required by GO:1990712. Preserve the mapping pending assembly-specific evidence; this is not evidence that the interaction or complex is absent.
