Bone Morphogenetic Protein Definition
Encoded by Bone Morphogenetic Protein Genes (TGF Beta Superfamily), 9 structurally related Bone Morphogenetic Proteins are non-collagenous bone-growth regulatory factors synthesized as large precursor molecules that are cleaved by proteolytic enzymes and form an active homodimer or heterodimer of two related bone morphogenetic proteins that stimulate osteogenesis.
