The mean pLDDT of this model is 71.6 (confident overall). pLDDT is AlphaFold's per-residue confidence score from 0 to 100. In MolViewer, choose the B-factor color scheme to color the model by pLDDT, because AlphaFold stores it in the B-factor column.
| pLDDT band | Meaning | Share of residues |
|---|---|---|
| Above 90 | Very high: backbone and side chains are usually accurate | 27% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 36% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 10% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 27% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Cell surface receptor that regulates diverse cellular processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and apoptosis. Initiates BMP, inhibin, and TGF-beta signaling pathways by interacting with different ligands including TGFB1, BMP2, BMP5, BMP7 or GDF5. Alternatively, acts as a cell surface coreceptor for BMP ligands, serving to enhance ligand binding by differentially regulating BMPR1A/ALK3 and BMPR1B/ALK6 receptor trafficking. Promotes epithelial cell adhesion, focal adhesion formation and integrin signaling during epithelial cell spreading on fibronectin. By interacting with the scaffolding protein beta-arrestin2/ARRB2, regulates migration or actin cytoskeleton and…
Forms homodimers and homooligomers. Interacts with DYNLT4. Interacts with integrin ITGA5:ITGB1; this interaction promotes the internalization and trafficking of ITGA5:ITGB1 into endocytic vesicles. Interacts with TGFB1, BMP2, BMP5, BMP7 or GDF5 and inhibin A via the ligand binding domains. Interacts with ALK3/BMPR1A; this interaction results in the cell surface retention of BMPR1A. Interacts…
