Monoclonal Anti-BMP7 antibody produced in mouse

The bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a family of secreted signaling molecules that can induce ectopic bone growth. Many BMPs are part of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGFB) superfamily. BMPs were originally identified by 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 and possible bone inductive activity. (provided by RefSeq)

As implied by their name, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) promote and regulate bone development and growth. BMP-7 induces apoptosis in B-cells. It has a role in organ development and may have a role in liver regeneration. Mutations in the gene encoding the protein have been shown to affect the development of teeth, palate and other orofacial complexes.
