| Post Translational Modifications | A reversible disulfide bond can be formed between the two subunits in the homodimer.this has no effect on GDF2 activity. |
| Function | Potent circulating inhibitor of angiogenesis. Signals through the type I activin receptor ACVRL1 but not other Alks. Signaling through SMAD1 in endothelial cells requires TGF-beta coreceptor endoglin/ENG. |
