Twisted Gastrulation Homolog 1 (Drosophila) (TWSG1) (Active) protein
Description
Twisted Gastrulation Protein (TSG) is a secreted BMP binding protein structurally related to the BMP antagonists Chordin and Noggin. TSG can inhibit BMP activity by binding directly to BMP proteins, and can act either as a BMP4 agonist or antagonist (depending on the specific biochemical environment) by binding to the BMP4/Chordin complex. Alternative Names: Twisted Gastrulation Protein protein
