Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are polypeptide signaling molecules, belonging to the TGF-beta superfamily. They were originally identified by their ability to induce ectopic bone formation, but their expression patterns in embryos suggest multiple functions. BMP-7-deficient mice show among other mesodermal and skeletal patterning defects, polydactyly in the hindlimbs [Luo G, Hofmann C, Bronckers ALJJ, Sohocki...
