Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable receptor ligand activity; receptor serine/threonine kinase binding activity; and telethonin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including BMP signaling pathway; heart development; and positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Acts upstream of or within heart development; kidney development; and positive regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be located in Z disc and cell surface. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including blood; heart; liver; lung; and metanephros. Used to study tetralogy of Fallot. Orthologous to human BMP10 (bone morphogenetic protein 10).
