| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Enables receptor ligand activity; transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase activator activity; and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 binding activity. Involved in several processes, including circulatory system development; nephron epithelium morphogenesis; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic limb morphogenesis; positive regulation of branching involved in ureteric bud morphogenesis; and regulation of signal transduction. Located in extracellular region. Colocalizes with cell surface. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo mesenchyme; jaw; limb bud; neural ectoderm; and skeleton. Orthologous to human GREM1 (gremlin 1, DAN family BMP antagonist). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display neonatal lethality with bilateral agenesis of the kidneys and ureters, oligodactyly, limb skeletal malformations, cyanosis, dyspnea, and abnormal lung morphology.
