Abstract excerpt
Mutations of bone morphogenetic protein receptor type II (BMPR-II) have been associated with familial and idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). BMPR-II is a member of the transforming growth factor-beta receptor superfamily. It consists of extracellular, transmembrane, and kinase domains, and a unique C-terminus with mostly unknown function. However, a number of PAH-causing mutations are predicted to...
