Chordin-like 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CHRDL1 gene. [5] Chordin-Like 1 (CHRDL1) is a structural glycoprotein that sits on the X chromosome and specifically encodes Venotropin, which is an antagonistic protein to bone morphogenic protein 4. [6]

Function

This gene encodes an antagonist of bone morphogenetic protein 4. The encoded protein may play a role in topographic retinotectal projection and in the regulation of retinal angiogenesis in response to hypoxia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [5]

CHRDL1 plays important roles in processes such as embryonic cell differentiation, osteogenesis, neurogenesis, tumor and metastasis suppression, and retinal formation. [7] [8] The highest expression of this gene is found in the anterior eye segment and retina as well as in the cerebellum and neocortex. [6] In the neocortex, it peaks at the time of synapse maturation to allow for proper synaptic formation. [9] Therefore, this gene is important in proper formation of the central nervous system and the eyes.

Clinical significance

Mutations in CHRDL1 are associated to Neuhäuser Syndrome, X-linked megalocornea and central corneal thickness. [10]

Mutations in this gene may cause a variety of effects on the aforementioned processes. One potential outcome of a CHRDL1 mutation is non-syndromic X-linked megalocornea (XMC) that results from either a missense, nonsense, or frameshift mutation of the gene. [6] XMC is an enlargement of the anterior segments of the eye that may lead to other issues such as cataracts and glaucoma. [6] Another potential outcome is carcinogenic formation. Since CHRDL1 is a tumor and metastasis suppressor, a mutation in this gene may lead to tumor cell formation. [8] The most major effect a mutation could have is on synaptic stabilization. Since the gene limits synaptic plasticity, a mutation may cause issues in proper synapse maturation, leading to a variety of neurological disorders. [9] There is currently a knockout model for this gene that shows disruption may cause altered synaptic events and reduced synaptic GluA2 AMPARs leading to reduced plasticity. [9]

BMPR2

Bone morphogenetic protein receptor type II or BMPR2 is a serine/threonine receptor kinase. It binds Bone morphogenetic proteins, members of the TGF beta superfamily of ligands, which are involved in paracrine signalling. BMPs are involved in a host of cellular functions including osteogenesis, cell growth and cell differentiation. Signaling in the BMP pathway begins with the binding of a BMP to the type II receptor. This causes the recruitment of a BMP type I receptor, which it phosphorylates. The Type I receptor phosphorylates an R-SMAD a transcriptional regulator.

Activin A receptor, type I (ACVR1) is a protein which in humans is encoded by the ACVR1 gene; also known as ALK-2. ACVR1 has been linked to the 2q23-24 region of the genome. This protein is important in the bone morphogenic protein (BMP) pathway which is responsible for the development and repair of the skeletal system. While knock-out models with this gene are in progress, the ACVR1 gene has been connected to fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, a disease characterized by the formation of heterotopic bone throughout the body. It is a bone morphogenetic protein receptor, type 1.
