In Xenopus, Gremlin belongs to a novel gene family that act as BMP antagonists in embryonic explants. The human homolog of Drm/Gremlin (CKTFS1B1) is localized on human chromosome 15q13--> q15. DRM-specific mRNA is expressed in different human tissues, including brain, ovary, intestine and colon. It has been suggested that down-regulation of DRM is associated with tumor progression, and support the hypothesis that human DRM may play an important role during both neuroembryological development and carcinogenesis.
