Function

Secreted signal that acts globally to regulate anterior/posterior axial patterning during development. May play critical roles in patterning both mesodermal and neural tissues. It is required for proper vertebral patterning and orofacial development.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Secreted
Tissue Specificity: In the embryo, strong expression is seen in the palatal epithelia, including the medial edge epithelial and midline epithelial seam of the palatal shelves. Less pronounced expression is also seen throughout the palatal shelf and tongue mesenchyme
Disease Association: Vertebral hypersegmentation and orofacial anomalies (VHO) : An autosomal dominant disease characterized by supernumerary ribs, supernumerary cervical, thoracic and/or lumbar vertebrae, and orofacial anomalies such as cleft lip with or without cleft palate in most patients. [The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]

Protein Biology

Function

Secreted signal that acts globally to regulate anterior/posterior axial patterning during development. May play critical roles in patterning both mesodermal and neural tissues (By similarity). It is required for proper vertebral patterning and orofacial development (PubMed:31215115). Signals through activin receptors type-2, ACVR2A and ACVR2B, and activin receptors type-1, ACVR1B, ACVR1C and TGFBR1 leading to the phosphorylation of SMAD2 and SMAD3 (PubMed:28257634)

Subunit

Homodimer; disulfide-linked (PubMed:26919518, PubMed:31215115). Interacts directly with ACVR2B (By similarity). Interacts directly with ACVR2A (By similarity). Interacts with ACVR1B, TGFBR1 and ACVR1C in an ACVR2B-dependent manner (By similarity). Interacts with FST isoform 2/FS-288 (PubMed:28257634)
