Repulsive guidance molecules (RGMs) and neogenin in bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling
6 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) belong to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ) superfamily. BMPs mediate a highly conserved signal transduction cascade through the type-I and type-II serine/threonine kinase receptors and intracellular Smad proteins, which regulate multiple developmental and homeostatic processes. Mutations in this pathway can cause various diseases in humans, such as skeletal disorders,...
