CHRD, a novel domain in the BMP inhibitor chordin, is also found in microbial proteins.
CHRD (after SWISSPROT abbreviation for chordin) is a novel domain identified in chordin, an inhibitor of bone morphogenetic proteins. Database searches have revealed several microbial homologues to this domain. It is anticipated to have an immunoglobulin-like beta-barrel structure based on limited similarity to superoxide dismutases but, as yet, no clear functional prediction can be made.
