Function |
May inhibit NODAL and BMP signaling during neural patterning (By similarity). May be a tumor suppressor in brain cancers. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12743596}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12743596}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12743596}.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Expressed predominantly in brain, and at lower levels in heart, placenta and skeletal muscle. Down-regulated in brain tumors as compared to control brain tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12743596}.
