CER1 cerberus 1, DAN family BMP antagonist

Gene ID: 9350, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DAND4

Summary

This gene encodes a cytokine member of the cysteine knot superfamily, characterized by nine conserved cysteines and a cysteine knot region. The cerberus-related cytokines, together with Dan and DRM/Gremlin, represent a group of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonists that can bind directly to BMPs and inhibit their activity.
