Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable BMP receptor binding activity; cytokine activity; and heparin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including chordate embryonic development; heart development; and kidney mesenchyme development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; morphogenesis of a branching epithelium; and regulation of morphogenesis of a branching structure. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo ectoderm; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study obstructive sleep apnea and osteoarthritis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in prostate cancer. Orthologous to human BMP7 (bone morphogenetic protein 7).
