Bone Morphogenetic Protein Gene Definition

Bone Morphogenetic Protein Genes (TGF Beta Superfamily) encode 9 structurally related Bone Morphogenetic Proteins, 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.
