BMP4 INHIBITORS

摘要

A fragment of Gremlin having the sequence of amino acids shown in SEQ ID NO:2 or a functional subsequence of the fragment is described. The fragment is capable of altering BMP4 activity. Also provided is a polynucleotide encoding the fragment. Also disclosed is an assay for testing a molecule for Gremlin inhibitory activity. The invention also provides a method of inhibiting BMP4 activity.
