Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables activin receptor binding activity. Involved in nodal signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including heart development; left lung morphogenesis; and spleen development. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cell surface and extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo mesoderm; intermediate mesenchyme; neural ectoderm; and primitive streak. Used to study dextro-looped transposition of the great arteries; double outlet right ventricle; right atrial isomerism; and visceral heterotaxy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in tetralogy of Fallot and visceral heterotaxy. Orthologous to several human genes including CFC1 (cryptic, EGF-CFC family member 1).
