Summary
The secreted polypeptide, encoded by this gene, binds and inactivates members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily signaling proteins, such as bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP4). By diffusing through extracellular matrices more efficiently than members of the TGF-beta superfamily, this protein may have a principal role in creating morphogenic gradients. The protein appears to have pleiotropic effect, both early in development as well as in later stages. It was originally isolated from Xenopus based on its ability to restore normal dorsal-ventral body axis in embryos that had been artificially ventralized by UV treatment. The results of the mouse knockout of the ortholog suggest that it is involved in numerous developmental processes, such as neural tube fusion and joint formation. Recently, several dominant human NOG mutations in unrelated families with proximal symphalangism (SYM1) and multiple synostoses syndrome (SYNS1) were identified; both SYM1 and SYNS1 have multiple joint fusion as their principal feature, and map to the same region (17q22) as this gene. All of these mutations altered evolutionarily conserved amino acid residues. The amino acid sequence of this human gene is highly homologous to that of Xenopus, rat and mouse.

Gene Networks
Gene regulatory network (GRN) of the gene in two interaction steps distance for the selected cell types. The network depth can be varied by updating the number in the box of Network Settings. The GRN is based on C3NET algorithm [1]. Each links are the highest association scores for one of the genes of gene pairs. The numbers near the checked boxes refer to the numbers of links contributed by each of the cell types. One can uncheck and remove the links of any of the cell types from the network. The network topology is dynamic and can be re-arranged by pulling a node with a mouse. The solid and dashed lines refer to positive and negative correlations, respectively. Right clicking a node will bring up a menu with additional options. The arrows show the most likely direction of regulation between gene pairs.
