Three alternatively spliced variants of the gene coding for the human bone morphogenetic protein-1.

Abstract excerpt

The human bone morphogenetic protein-1 was originally identified as a protein with the capacity to stimulate bone and cartilage growth in vitro. Its gene sequence identified it as an alternatively spliced human homolog of the Drosophila dorsal-ventral patterning tolloid gene and suggested that it activates transforming growth factor-beta-like molecules by proteolytic cleavage. Its expression pattern and its...
