| Description : |
Noggin belongs to a group of diffusible proteins that bind to ligands of the TGF-β family, and regulate their activity by inhibiting their access to signaling receptors. Noggin is expressed in defined areas of the adult central nervous system and peripheral tissues such as lung, skeletal muscle and skin. Noggin has been shown to modulate the activities of other BMPs, which is required for growth and patterning of the neural tube and somite, and essential for cartilage morphogenesis and joint formation. Noggin also inhibits chondrocyte differentiation through its interaction with GDF5. |
