DAN rabbit polyclonal, anti-human, mouse, rat

Backgroud: This gene product is the founding member of the evolutionarily conserved CAN (Cerberus and DAN) family of proteins, which contain a domain resembling the CTCK (C-terminal cystine knot-like) motif found in a number of signaling molecules. These proteins are secreted, and act as BMP (bone morphogenetic protein) antagonists by binding to BMPs and preventing them from interacting with their receptors. They may thus play an important role during growth and development. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene. Read-through transcripts between this locus and the upstream mitochondrial inner membrane organizing system 1 gene (GeneID 440574) have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013],disease:Defects in NBL1 are possibly the cause of the development and/or progression of human neuroblastoma.,function:Possible candidate as a tumor suppressor gene of neuroblastoma. May play an important role in preventing cells from entering the final stage (G1/S) of the transformation process.,similarity:Belongs to the DAN family.,similarity:Contains 1 CTCK (C-terminal cystine knot-like) domain.,tissue specificity:Most abundant in normal lung and meningioma.,
