Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.2.0)

Enables heparin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including circulatory system development; positive regulation of cell differentiation; and regulation of morphogenesis of a branching structure. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on positive regulation of protein localization to nucleus. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; morphogenesis of a branching epithelium; and nervous system development. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo ectoderm; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome type 3; atrioventricular septal defect; cleft palate-lateral synechia syndrome; fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva; and urinary system disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including CAKUT (multiple); cleft lip; orofacial cleft 11; ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of spine; and syndromic microphthalmia 6. Orthologous to human BMP4 (bone morphogenetic protein 4).
