Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable coreceptor activity. Involved in several processes, including mesodermal cell fate specification; regulation of BMP signaling pathway; and regulation of dauer larval development. Located in plasma membrane. Part of receptor complex. Expressed in hypodermis and intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hemochromatosis type 2A and multiple sclerosis. Is an ortholog of human HJV (hemojuvelin BMP co-receptor) and RGMA (repulsive guidance molecule BMP co-receptor a).
