Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ CHRDL2 (Chordin-like 2) is a novel chordin-related gene belonging to the chordin family of proteins. It encodes a putative extracellular matrix protein consistsing of a signal peptide and three cysteine-rich (CR) domains. In humans, it expressed in several normal adult tissues predominantly in liver, heart, prostate, testis, and ovary._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ CHRDL2 (AAI53101.1, 1 a.a. ~ 451 a.a) full-length human protein._x000D_ Sequence_x000D_ MVPEVRVLSSLLGLALLWFPLDSHARARPDMFCLFHGKRYSPGESWHPYLEPQGLMYCLRCTCSEGAHVSCYRLHCPPVHCPQPVTEPQQCCPKCVEPHTPSGLRAPPKSCQHNGTMYQHGEIFSAHELFPSRLPNQCVLCSCTEGQIYCGLTTCPEPGCPAPLPLPDSCCQACKDEASEQSDEEDSVQSLHGVRHPQDPCSSDAGRKRGPGTPAPTGLSAPLSFIPRHFRPKGAGSTTVKIVLKEKHKKACVHGGKTYSHGEVWHPAFRAFGPLPCILCTCEDGRQDCQRVTCPTEYPCRHPEKVAGKCCKICPEDKADPGHSEISSTRCPKAPGRVLVHTSVSPSPDNLRRFALEHEASDLVEIYLWKLVKDEETEAQRGEVPGPRPHSQNLPLDSDQESQEARLPERGTALPTARWPPRRSLERLPSPDPGAEGHGQSRQSDQDITKT_x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4_x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ CHRDL2 (Chordin-like 2) may play a role in the cartilage regeneration, myoblast and osteoblast differentiation. It has been reported that CHRDL2 may negatively regulate the cartilage formation/regeneration from immature mesenchymal cells. CHRDL2 restricts BMPs activity by blocking their interaction with its type I BMP receptor ectodomain. Overexpressed expression of CHRDL2 has been reported in several cancerous tissues such as breast, lung and colon cancers.
