Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.0.0)
Enables several functions, including morphogen activity; nodal binding activity; and receptor ligand inhibitor activity. Involved in determination of left/right asymmetry in lateral mesoderm; heart development; and negative regulation of transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within determination of left/right symmetry and negative regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be active in extracellular region. Is expressed in gut; node; and primitive streak. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in visceral heterotaxy 13. Orthologous to human DAND5 (DAN domain BMP antagonist family member 5).
