Also known as TSG, twisted gastrulation BMP signaling modulator 1
Twisted gastrulation protein homolog 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TWSG1 gene. The protein is a binding protein for bone morphogenetic proteins, similar to Chordin. The Twisted gastrulation gene is expressed in the extraembryonic tissues during organogenesis, and in certain adult tissues such as the lymph nodes, kidneys, liver, and lungs.
Enables transforming growth factor beta binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of CD4-positive, alpha-beta T cell proliferation; positive regulation of pathway-restricted SMAD protein phosphorylation; and transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
