Bone Morphogenetic Proteins

CSP: protein family consisting of 9 structurally related proteins belonging to the transforming growth factor beta superfamily.,MSH: Bone-growth regulatory factors that are members of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily of proteins. They are synthesized as large precursor molecules which are cleaved by proteolytic enzymes. The active form can consist of a dimer of two identical proteins or a heterodimer of two related bone morphogenetic proteins.,NCI: 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. (NCI)
