-  Comments and Description Text from UniProtKB
  ID: NODAL_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Nodal homolog; Flags: Precursor;
FUNCTION: Essential for mesoderm formation and axial patterning during embryonic development (By similarity).
SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked (By similarity).
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted (By similarity).
DISEASE: Defects in NODAL are the cause of visceral heterotaxy autosomal type 5 (HTX5) [MIM:270100]. A form of visceral heterotaxy, a complex disorder due to disruption of the normal left-right asymmetry of the thoracoabdominal organs. It results in an abnormal arrangement of visceral organs, and a wide variety of congenital defects. Clinical features of visceral heterotaxy autosomal type 5 include situs inversus viscerum or situs ambiguus, congenital heart defect, transposition of the great vessels ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, truncuscommunis, and dextrocardia.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the TGF-beta family.

ModBase Predicted Comparative 3D Structure on Q96S42
FrontTopSide
The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
