Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) shape normal development and function via canonical and noncanonical signaling pathways. BMPs initiate canonical signaling by binding to transmembrane receptors that phosphorylate Smad proteins and induce their translocation into the nucleus and regulation of target genes. Phosphorylated Smads also accumulate at cellular junctions, but this noncanonical, local BMP signaling...
