背景信息:
Bone morphogenetic protein 3, also known as osteogenic, is a protein in humans that is encoded by the BMP3 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily. It, like other bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP‘s), is known for its ability to induce bone and cartilage development. It is a disulfide-linked homodimer. It negatively regulates bone density. BMP3 is an antagonist to other BMP‘s in the differentiation of osteogenic progenitors. It is highly expressed in fractured tissues.
