Description
Exhibits growth factor activity. Involved in several processes, including cardiac muscle myoblast proliferation; muscle organ development; and negative regulation of cardiac muscle myoblast proliferation. Predicted to localize to extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy. Is expressed in several structures, including digestive system; heart; musculature system; nervous system; and pleuroperitoneal region. Orthologous to human MSTN (myostatin).
