Chordin-like protein 1 (Chrdl1)

Seems to antagonize the function of BMP4 by binding to it and preventing its interaction with receptors. Alters the fate commitment of neural stem cells from gliogenesis to neurogenesis.

Contributes to neuronal differentiation of neural stem cells in the brain by preventing the adoption of a glial fate. May play an essential role in dorsoventral axis formation (By similarity).
