The function of CHRDL2 (chordin like 2, Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000054938) is as follows. May inhibit BMPs activity by blocking their interaction with their receptors. Has a negative regulator effect on the cartilage formation/regeneration from immature mesenchymal cells, by preventing or reducing the rate of matrix accumulation (By similarity). Implicated in tumor angiogenesis. May play a role during myoblast and osteoblast differentiation, and maturation. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12853144, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15094188}.
