Source: NCBI Gene (ID 9350)
Symbol: CER1
Full name: cerberus 1, DAN family BMP antagonist
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: DAND4
Summary: This gene encodes a cytokine member of the cysteine knot superfamily, characterized by nine conserved cysteines and a cysteine knot region. The cerberus-related cytokines, together with Dan and DRM/Gremlin, represent a group of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonists that can bind directly to BMPs and inhibit their activity.
