Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a group of growth factors also known as cytokines and as metabologens. [1] Professor Marshall Urist and Professor Hari Reddi discovered their ability to induce the formation of bone and cartilage, BMPs are now considered to constitute a group of pivotal morphogenetic signals, orchestrating tissue architecture throughout the body.
Type 1 contains a glycine-serine-rich domain to be phosphorylated by type 2 kinase domain, initiating the signaling transduction pathway of the SMAD signaling cascade. [3] The wrist epitope motif on BMP-2 has a high-affinity binding site for BMPR-IA. The knuckle epitope motif on BMP-2 has a low-affinity binding site for BMPR-II. [4]
Bone morphogenetic protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by BMP4 gene. [4] [5] BMP4 is found on chromosome 14q22-q23.BMP4 is a member of the bone morphogenetic protein family which is part of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily.

The activation of this pathway has been documented in all cellular types analyzed up to date, including hepatocytes and HCC cells. [18] [19] GDF2 also triggers Smad-2/Smad-3 phosphorylation in different endothelial cell types. [20] [21] Another pathway for GDF2 is the induced non-canonical one. Little is known about this type of pathway in GDF2.
A head-on collision in Texas killed seven people and seriously injured two children Thursday, officials said. The crash occurred around 4:40 p.m. local time on FM 1433, about eight miles north of ...
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (/ ˌ f aɪ b r oʊ d ɪ ˈ s p l eɪ ʒ (i) ə ɒ ˈ s ɪ f ɪ k æ n z p r ə ˈ ɡ r ɛ s ɪ v ə /; [1] abbr. FOP), also called Münchmeyer disease or formerly myositis ossificans progressiva, is an extremely rare connective tissue disease in which fibrous connective tissue such as muscle, tendons, and ligaments turn into bone tissue (ossification).
