Summary
This gene encodes a member of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor beta) family of growth and differentiation factors that negatively regulates the development and growth of skeletal muscle mass. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a mature, functional peptide. Transgenic fish expressing the prodomain of the encoded protein in the skeletal muscles exhibit an increased number of myofibers without a significant difference in fiber size. Knockdown of the expression of this gene in fish induces body mass increases due to hyperplasia or hypertrophy. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2016]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
