motifs/domains
  • GPI anchored glycoprotein
  • a N terminal RGM domain
  • HOMOLOGY
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • repulsive guidance molecule (RGM) family
  • CATEGORY signaling , receptor nuclear
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    basic FUNCTION
  • repulsive and specific guiding activity in the optic tectum
  • glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored member of the repulsive guidance molecule family, enhancing BMP but not TGFbeta signaling
  • GPI-anchored membrane protein, inhibiting BMP signaling in C2C12 myoblasts (Kanomata 2009)
  • myelin-derived inhibitor of axon growth in the CNS (Liu 2009)
  • may impair tubular epithelial integrity and induce epithelial apoptosis
  • is not essential for normal gonadal function
  • important role for a novel innate pathway in regulating type 2 inflammation in patients with allergic asthma involving RGMB and RGMB-expressing cells, such as interstitial macrophages and bronchial epithelial cells

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • ligand for neogenin (NEO1)
  • direct interaction with BMP ligands and receptors (indicates that it is a BMP co-receptor that potentiates BMP signaling)
  • binds directly to BMP2 and BMP4 but not to BMP7 or other TGFbeta ligands
  • associates directly with BMP type I (ALK2, ALK3, and ALK6) and type II (ActRII and ActRIIB) receptors, and its signaling is reduced by dominant negative SMAD1 and ALK3 or -6 receptors
  • interacts with itself homophilically
  • inhibition of BMP2 and BMP4 that inhibits hepcidin expression in these cells (Andriopoulos 2009)
  • RGMB-NEO1-mediated cell-cell interactions between newly born neurons and progenitor cells control the ratio of glia and neurons produced in the olfactory epithelium (OE)
  • RGMB binds an extracellular domain of CTLA4, and specifically strengthens the binding of the monomeric, soluble form of CTLA4 (sCTLA-4) to CD80
  • when RGMB is phosphorylated by the extracellular tyrosine kinase PKDCC, phosphorylated RGMB (p-RGMb) is internalized and carries LRP5 towards intracellular compartments
