Sclerostin is a secreted glycoprotein with a C-terminal
cysteine knot-like (CTCK) domain and sequence similarity to the DAN
(differential screening-selected gene aberrative in neuroblastoma)
family of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonists.
Loss-of-function mutations in this gene are associated with an
autosomal-recessive disorder, sclerosteosis, which causes
progressive bone overgrowth. A deletion downstream of this gene,
which causes reduced sclerostin expression, is associated with a
milder form of the disorder called van Buchem disease. [provided by
