Background Descriptions | CHRDL2 is a novel chordin like protein that can act as a BMP antagonist. A member of the chordin family of proteins, it contains a signal peptide and three CR (cysteine-rich repeat) domains. When expressed as a recombinant protein it is secreted and binds to activin A, but not to BMP-2, -4, -6. Differential expression has been detected in developing chondrocytes, myoblasts, osteoblasts, and osteoarthritic joints. Complex alternative splicing of CHRDL2 potentially results in distinct isoforms that differ at their C termini, in the expression of signal peptide, and in the content of CR domains. CHRDL2 was originally characterized as a novel protein exclusively expressed in breast, lung, and colon tumors. |

Other Names | Chordin-like protein 2, Breast tumor novel factor 1, BNF-1, Chordin-related protein 2, CHRDL2, BNF1, CHL2 |
Target/Specificity | Highly expressed in uterus. Moderately expressed in heart, liver, prostate, testis and ovary. Weakly expressed in skeletal muscle, kidney, spleen, small intestine and colon. Expressed in the secretory epithelial cells of uterine endometrium, fallopian tubes, endocervical glands, bladder and prostate, as well as the transitional epithelium of the urinary bladder, and in bone osteoblasts (at protein level). In normal cartilage, expression was confined in a few chondrocytes in the superficial zone as well as in the middle zone. In diseased cartilage coming from osteoarthritic patients, expression was limited to the middle zone of chondrocytes. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are expressed in fetal cerebellum and heart, while only isoform 2 is detected in fetal spleen. Isoform 2 present in plasma. |

Synonyms | BNF1, CHL2 |
Function | May inhibit BMPs activity by blocking their interaction with their receptors. Has a negative regulator effect on the cartilage formation/regeneration from immature mesenchymal cells, by preventing or reducing the rate of matrix accumulation (By similarity). Implicated in tumor angiogenesis. May play a role during myoblast and osteoblast differentiation, and maturation. |
