Description

SOSTDC1 (Sclerostin Domain Containing 1) encodes a secreted protein that functions as a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonist and modulates Wnt signaling. It plays roles in bone formation, tooth development, and kidney function. Dysregulation is implicated in cancer and renal diseases.

Protein Summary

SOSTDC1 is a secreted 206-amino acid protein containing a cystine-knot domain. It binds BMPs (especially BMP-2, BMP-4, BMP-7) and Wnt proteins, inhibiting their signaling. It is critical for kidney development, tooth morphogenesis, and bone homeostasis.
