Background: This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protein, which plays a role in left-right asymmetry determination of organ systems during development. This gene is closely linked to both a related family member and a related pseudogene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016],
Function:function:Required for left-right axis determination as a regulator of LEFTY2 and NODAL.,PTM:The processing of the protein may also occur at the second R-X-X-R site located at AA 132-135. Processing appears to be regulated in a cell-type specific manner.,similarity:Belongs to the TGF-beta family.,
Subcellular Location:Secreted.
Expression: Colon,Pancreas,Spleen,Teratocarcinoma,
