Descritpion: CHRDL2 (chordin-related protein 2), also known as BNF1 (breast tumor novel factor 1) or CHL2 (chordin-like 2), is a 429 amino acid protein that belongs to the chordin family of proteins. CHRDL2 contains three VWFC (von Willebrand Factor type C) domains and is predominantly expressed in uterus and moderately expressed in prostate, liver, ovary, heart and testis. Due to alternative splicing events, CHRDL2 exists as five isoforms, namely isoform I, isoform II, isoform VII, isoform VIII and isoform IX. Two of these isoforms are secreted, while the other three localize to the cytoplasm. Functioning as a BMP-binding inhibitor, CHRDL2 directly interacts with BMPs and blocks their binding to BMP receptors, thereby inhibiting BMP activity. In breast, lung and colon tumors, CHRDL2 expression is upregulated, suggesting a possible role in tumorigenesis.

Tissue Specificity/Positive Control: Highly expressed in uterus. Moderately expressed in heart, liver, prostate, testis and ovary. Weakly expressed in skeletal muscle, kidney, spleen, small intestine and colon. Expressed in the secretory epithelial cells of uterine endometrium, fallopian tubes, endocervical glands, bladder and prostate, as well as the transitional epithelium of the urinary bladder, and in bone osteoblasts (at protein level). In normal cartilage, expression was confined in a few chondrocytes in the superficial zone as well as in the middle zone. In diseased cartilage coming from osteoarthritic patients, expression was limited to the middle zone of chondrocytes. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are expressed in fetal cerebellum and heart, while only isoform 2 is detected in fetal spleen. Isoform 2 present in plasma.
Cellular Localization: Cytoplasm and Secreted.
