Chrd - chordin

Predicted to enable heparin binding activity and syndecan binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including BMP signaling pathway involved in spinal cord dorsal/ventral patterning; negative regulation of cell migration; and positive regulation of mesenchymal cell proliferation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including gastrulation; negative regulation of BMP signaling pathway; and negative regulation of osteoblast differentiation. Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Orthologous to human CHRD (chordin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
