Brorin (also VWC2, von Willebrand Factor C domain-containing protein 2) is a secreted, 48-49 kD member of the chordin family of proteins.
It is expressed by neurons in multiple sites, and serves to sequester BMP family proteins such as BMP-2 and BMP-6.
BMP antagonism is suggested to generate neurons from neural precursor cells at the expense of astrocytes.
Human Brorin precursor is 325aa in length.
It contains a 27aa signal sequence, one poly-Ala region (aa120-127), and two von Willebrand factor C domains (aa153-212 and 216-274) that likely serve as BMP interaction sites.
Over aa28-325, human Brorin shares 90% aa identity with mouse Brorin.
