Background: Chordin-like 2/CHRDL2

Chordin-like 2 (CHL2, CHRDL2, or BNF-1), is an approximately 55 kDa secreted glycoprotein that acts as a BMP antagonist. Mature human CHL2 contains three von Willebrand type C repeats and shares 73% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat CHL2 (1-3). Complex alternative splicing of human Chordin-like 2 generates multiple short isoforms as well as a nearly full length isoform with a substituted C-terminus (3). CHL2 is expressed in chondrocytes in developing joint cartilage (2, 4), osteoblasts, myotubes, brain, some carcinomas, and the genitourinary system (e.g. uterus, prostate, testis, bladder) (1-3). CHL2 binds to multiple TGF-beta superfamily proteins including BMP-2, -4, -5, -6, -7, GDF-5, Activin A, and TSG (2, 3, 5, 6). It prevents the binding of BMPs to type 1 and type 2 receptors as well as BMP-induced cellular responses (2, 5). CHL2 reduces the rate of matrix deposition by mesenchymal cells, acting as a negative regulator of cartilage formation (2).
