This gene encodes a secreted bone morphogenic protein antagonist. The encoded protein is possibly involved in neural function and development and may have a role in cell adhesion.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of BMP signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of neuron differentiation. Predicted to be located in extracellular region and synapse. Predicted to be part of AMPA glutamate receptor complex. Predicted to be active
