| Summary | Bone morphogenetic proteins were originally identified by an ability of demineralized bone extract to induce endochondral osteogenesis in vivo in an extraskeletal site. Through molecular cloning, 7 BMP cDNAs, designated BMP1 through BMP7, have been recovered. BMP2 through BMP7, are members of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily of regulatory molecules. From a high degree of amino acid sequence homology, BMP5, BMP6, and BMP7 are recognized as a subfamily of the BMPs. |
