Data suggest CHRD (chordin) cleavage by tolloid-like metalloproteinases is insufficient to regulate BMP(bone morphogenetic protein)/BMPR signaling; CHRD fragments and TSG (twisted gastrulation protein) contribute to inhibition of BMP/BMPR signaling.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
