CER1


Description

The CER1 (cerberus 1, DAN family BMP antagonist) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 9.

CER1, or Cer1, may refer to various entities. This ambiguity requires further context to determine the specific meaning.

CER1, also known as Cerberus, plays a crucial role in early embryonic development. It acts as a signaling molecule, inhibiting bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) activity, which is essential for anterior neural induction and somite formation. Additionally, CER1 influences Nodal signaling during gastrulation, contributing to the formation and organization of the primitive streak.

CER1 is also known as DAND4.
