Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in fat cell differentiation; metanephros development; and positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on cell migration involved in metanephros development and epithelial cell migration. Acts upstream of or within BMP signaling pathway and positive regulation of neuron differentiation. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including craniocervical region bone; ganglia; limb; respiratory system cartilage; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis 17; bone disease (multiple); cleft lip; cleft palate; and isolated microphthalmia 4. Orthologous to human GDF6 (growth differentiation factor 6).
