TrkC binds to the bone morphogenetic protein type II receptor to suppress bone morphogenetic protein signaling.
TrkC, a member of the tropomyosin-related kinase (Trk) family of neurotrophin receptors, is implicated in the growth and survival of human cancer tissues. TrkC is also a potent oncoprotein expressed in tumors derived from multiple cell lineages, and functions as an active protein tyrosine kinase by neurotrophin-3 (NT-3). We previously reported that TrkC plays an essential role in tumor growth a...
متن کاملA soluble bone morphogenetic protein type IA receptor increases bone mass and bone strength.
Diseases such as osteoporosis are associated with reduced bone mass. Therapies to prevent bone loss exist, but there are few that stimulate bone formation and restore bone mass. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are members of the TGFβ superfamily, which act as pleiotropic regulators of skeletal organogenesis and bone homeostasis. Ablation of the BMPR1A receptor in osteoblasts increases bone m...
متن کاملUncovering Molecular Bases Underlying Bone Morphogenetic Protein Receptor Inhibitor Selectivity
Abnormal alteration of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling is implicated in many types of diseases including cancer and heterotopic ossifications. Hence, small molecules targeting BMP type I receptors (BMPRI) to interrupt BMP signaling are believed to be an effective approach to treat these diseases. However, lack of understanding of the molecular determinants responsible for the binding...

متن کاملBone Morphogenetic Protein-4 and Bone Morphogenetic Protein Receptors Expressions in the Adult Rat Eye
We investigated the expressions of bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP4) and its receptors, bone morphogenetic protein receptor IA (BMPRIA), bone morphogenetic protein receptor IB (BMPRIB) and bone morphogenetic protein receptor II (BMPRII) in the adult rat eye. Interesting differences in expression profile were observed between BMPRIA and BMPRIB in the retina. BMPRIA-like immunoreactivity (IR) w...
