Human TWSG1, recombinant (C-6His)

Recombinant Human Twisted Gastrulation Protein Homolog 1 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Cys26-Phe223 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Protein function: May be involved in dorsoventral axis formation. Seems to antagonize BMP signaling by forming ternary complexes with CHRD and BMPs, thereby preventing BMPs from binding to their receptors. In addition to the anti-BMP function, also has pro-BMP activity, partly mediated by cleavage and degradation of CHRD, which releases BMPs from ternary complexes. May be an important modulator of BMP-regulated cartilage development and chondrocyte differentiation. May play a role in thymocyte development. [The UniProt Consortium]
