Background
Sclerostin is a secreted glycoprotein with a C-terminalcysteine knot-like (CTCK) domain and sequence similarity to the DAN(differential screening-selected gene aberrative in neuroblastoma)family of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonists.Loss-of-function mutations in this gene are associated with anautosomal-recessive disorder, sclerosteosis, which causesprogressive bone overgrowth. A deletion downstream of this gene,which causes reduced sclerostin expression, is associated with amilder form of the disorder called van Buchem disease. [provided byRefSeq].
