Predicted to enable several functions, including BMP binding activity; heparin binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including determination of dorsal identity; embryonic body morphogenesis; and regulation of signal transduction. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in tooth agenesis. Orthologous to human GREM2 (gremlin 2, DAN family BMP antagonist).
