Multiple Endocrine Regulation by Bone Morphogenetic Protein System
1 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) were originally identified with regard to their actions to regulate ectopic formation of bone and cartilage and early embryonic development. Subsequently, our research program has investigated a BMP system that exists in the mammalian ovary and plays roles in regulating numerous granulosa cell functions. BMP ligands including BMP-2, -4, -6, -7 and -15 were found to inhibit...
