Background

The bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a family of secreted signaling molecules that can induce ectopic bonegrowth. Many BMPs are part of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGFB) superfamily. BMPs were originally identifiedby an ability of demineralized bone extract to induce endochondral osteogenesis in vivo in an extraskeletal site.Based on its expression early in embryogenesis, the BMP encoded by this gene has a proposed role in early development.In addition, the fact that this BMP is closely related to BMP5 and BMP7 has led to speculation of possible boneinductive activity.
