Biological function summary
LEFTY2 functions as an important regulator in ensuring proper left-right asymmetry during embryonic development. It is a monomeric protein that is not part of a larger complex. LEFTY2 contributes to the modulation of Nodal signaling inhibiting excessive activity that can disrupt normal development. This modulation ensures the establishment of asymmetric organ positioning and plays an important role in maintaining developmental balance in the body.
Pathways
LEFTY2 integrates into the Nodal signaling pathway and the Activin signaling pathway. The interaction with Nodal proteins narrows down Nodal signaling ensuring the accurate development of the left-right axis. LEFTY2 also relates functionally and antagonistically to other proteins like Nodal and Activin A balancing their signaling actions to regulate developmental processes.

General info
Function
Required for left-right (L-R) asymmetry determination of organ systems in mammals. May play a role in endometrial bleeding.
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the TGF-beta family.
Post-translational modifications
The processing of the protein may also occur at the second R-X-X-R site located at AA 132-135. Processing appears to be regulated in a cell-type specific manner.
