Bone Morphogenetic Protein-15 Definition
Bone Morphogenetic Protein 15 encoded by the BMP15 gene is a member of the bone morphogenetic protein family which is part of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily. The transforming growth factor-beta superfamily includes large families of growth and differentiation factors. It is thought that this protein may be involved in oocyte maturation and follicular development as a homodimer or by forming heterodimers with a related protein, Gdf9. Bone morphogenetic protein 15 signals through receptor serine/threonine kinases. (From LocusLink)
