Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-4 is an important regulator of cellular growth and differentiation. Expression of BMP-4 has been documented in the gastric mucosa. We reported that incubation of canine parietal cells with EGF for 72 h induced both parietal cell morphological transformation and inhibition of H(+)/K(+)-ATPase gene expression through MAPK-dependent mechanisms. We explored the role of BMP-4 in...
