Gene: BMP1
Alternate names for this Gene: OI13|PCOLC|PCP|PCP2|TLD
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that is capable of inducing formation of cartilage in vivo. Although other bone morphogenetic proteins are members of the TGF-beta superfamily, this gene encodes a protein that is not closely related to other known growth factors. This gene is expressed as alternatively spliced variants that share an N-terminal protease domain but differ in their C-terminal region.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 8
Location in Chromosome : 8p21.3
Description of this Gene: bone morphogenetic protein 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
