ALK2 Functions as a BMP Type I Receptor and Induces Indian Hedgehog in Chondrocytes During Skeletal Development
1 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Growth plate chondrocytes integrate multiple signals during normal development. The type I BMP receptor ALK2 is expressed in cartilage and expression of constitutively active (CA) ALK2 and other activated type I BMP receptors results in maturation-independent expression of Ihh in chondrocytes in vitro and in vivo. The findings suggest that BMP signaling modulates the Ihh/PTHrP signaling pathway that...
