Summary
Predicted to enable cytokine activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase signaling pathway; regulation of endothelial cell proliferation; and transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within osteoblast differentiation; positive regulation of gene expression; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. Orthologous to human GDF2 (growth differentiation factor 2).

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.
