Facts about Twisted gastrulation protein homolog 1.
In addition to the anti-BMP function, also has pro-BMP activity, partially mediated by cleavage and degradation of CHRD, which releases BMPs from ternary complexes. Might be an important modulator of BMP-regulated cartilage development and chondrocyte differentiation.
