Transcripts for two members of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily BMP-3 and BMP-7 are expressed in developing rat embryos
1 Dec 1996
Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic protein-3 (BMP-3) and BMP-7 are members of the transforming growth factor beta superfamily that have been implicated in the formation of cartilage and bone. Using in situ hybridization, we localized mRNAs for BMP-3 and BMP-7 during organogenesis in rats. Both mRNAs were expressed in a variety of cells, in particular, in the developing hair follicle, tooth, kidney, and lung tissues, in which...
