Human GREM2/Prdc ELISA Kit PicoKine®

GREM2, also known as PRDC, is one of several BMP antagonists that regulate the functions of BMPs during embryonic development and tissue differentiation. BMP antagonists contain cystine knots and typically form homo- and heterodimers. The CAN (cerberus and dan) subfamily of BMP antagonists, to which this gene belongs, is characterized by a C-terminal cystine knot with an eight-membered ring. The antagonistic effect of the secreted glycosylated protein encoded by this gene is likely due to its binding to BMP proteins. The PRDC gene is mapped to chromosome 1q43.

Gremlin-2; Cysteine knot superfamily 1, BMP antagonist 2; DAN domain family member 3; Protein related to DAN and cerberus; GREM2; CKTSF1B2, DAND3, PRDC

Cytokine that inhibits the activity of BMP2 and BMP4 in a dose-dependent manner, and thereby modulates signaling by BMP family members. Contributes to the regulation of embryonic morphogenesis via BMP family members. Antagonizes BMP4-induced suppression of progesterone production in granulosa cells (By similarity) . .
