Anti-Chordin antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the CHRD gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 955 amino acid residues and a mass of 102 kDa. It is known to be a secreted protein. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 5 different isoforms for this protein. It is noted to be expressed at the highest level in liver. A member of the Chordin protein family, it is known to be involved with the regulation of cell migration and the regulation of cell differentiation. Post-translational modifications have been described, including protein cleavage and glycosylation.
