Background

Mouse VWC2 (von Willebrand Factor C domain-containing protein 2; also Brorin and cradin) is a secreted, 35 kDa (predicted) member of the chordin family of proteins. It is expressed in the choroid plexus and by neurons in multiple sites, and serves to sequester BMP family proteins such as BMP-2 and BMP-6. BMP antagonism is suggested to generate neurons from neural precursor cells at the expense of astrocytes. Mouse VWC2 precursor is 324 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a 27 aa signal sequence, one poly-Ala region (aa 124-129), and two von Willebrand factor C domains (aa 152-211 and 215-273) that likely serve as BMP interaction sites. Over aa 28-324, mouse VWC2 shares 90% aa identity with human VWC2.
