NTR domain, WFIKKN subfamily; WFIKKN proteins contain a C-terminal NTR domain and are putative secreted proteins which may be multivalent protease inhibitors that act on serine proteases as well as metalloproteases. Human WFIKKN and a related protein sharing the same domain architecture were observed to have distinct tissue expression patterns. WFIKKN is also referred to as growth and differentiation factor-associated serum protein-1 (GASP-1). It inhibits the activity of mature myostatin, a specific regulator of skeletal muscle mass and a member of the TGFbeta superfamily.
