Official Symbol: dbl-1
Official Full Name: Protein dbl-1
Primary source: WormBase:WBGene00000936
Locus tag: CELE_T25F10.2
See related: AllianceGenome:WB:WBGene00000936
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans (strain: Bristol N2)
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Nematoda; Chromadorea; Rhabditida; Rhabditina; Rhabditomorpha; Rhabditoidea; Rhabditidae; Peloderinae; Caenorhabditis
Summary: Predicted to enable BMP receptor binding activity; cytokine activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity. Involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; nematode male tail tip morphogenesis; and positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within regulation of lipid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in body wall musculature; nervous system; pm2 precursor; and in male. Used to study Marfan syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including CAKUT (multiple); bone disease (multiple); cleft lip; hemochromatosis type 1; and orofacial cleft 11. Orthologous to several human genes including BMP2 (bone morphogenetic protein 2); BMP4 (bone morphogenetic protein 4); and BMP5 (bone morphogenetic protein 5).

The DBL-1/TGF-beta signaling pathway tailors behavioral and molecular host responses to a variety of bacteria in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Title: The DBL-1/TGF-β signaling pathway tailors behavioral and molecular host responses to a variety of bacteria in Caenorhabditis elegans.
The authors provide evidence that DBL-1 signaling affects many molecular and cellular processes associated with body size and propose a model in which multiple body size factors are controlled by signaling through the DBL-1 pathway and by DBL-1-independent processes.
Title: Genetic interactions between the DBL-1/BMP-like pathway and dpy body size-associated genes in Caenorhabditis elegans.
It has been concluded that Dbl-1 signaling regulates lipid metabolism in C. elegans through interorgan signaling to the Insulin pathway.
Title: Caenorhabditis elegans DBL-1/BMP Regulates Lipid Accumulation via Interaction with Insulin Signaling.
The dbl-1/TGF-beta and daf-12/NHR pathways have not previously been shown to affect L1 development, but disruption of these pathways delayed L1 development in fed larvae, consistent with these pathways promoting development in starved daf-16/FOXO mutants.

DBL-1, a TGF-beta, is essential for Caenorhabditis elegans aversive olfactory learning.
Title: DBL-1, a TGF-β, is essential for Caenorhabditis elegans aversive olfactory learning.
Data suggest that, for body size regulation, the site of expression of dbl-1 is less important than the level of expression.

DBL-1 regulates genes involved in physical structure, protein metabolism consistent with a role for DBL-1 in control of body size; up-regulation of genes involved in innate immunity, clarifying the role of DBL-1 in innate immunity.
