Bone morphogenetic protein-4, a novel modulator of melanogenesis.
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), members of the transforming growth factor-beta family, signal in many cells including neural precursors. Two receptors, types 1 and 2, coordinately mediate BMP signaling, and type 1 receptor has two forms: A and B. Using RT-PCR we found that neural crest-derived human melanocytes express BMP receptor-1A, -1B, and -2. Furthermore, melanocytes and the surroundi...
متن کاملThe Prodomain-bound Form of Bone Morphogenetic Protein 10 Is Biologically Active on Endothelial Cells*
BMP10 is highly expressed in the developing heart and plays essential roles in cardiogenesis. BMP10 deletion in mice results in embryonic lethality because of impaired cardiac development. In adults, BMP10 expression is restricted to the right atrium, though ventricular hypertrophy is accompanied by increased BMP10 expression in a rat hypertension model. However, reports of BMP10 activity in th...
متن کاملRadiographic Evaluation of Dental Development in Patients With Tooth Agenesis
Introduction: Hypodontia is one of the most common developmental anomalies. This study aimed to evaluate the variations of radiographic dental development in a group of Iranian children with dental agenesis. Materials and Methods: This study evaluated 1230 Orthopantomographs (OPGs) for agenesis of permanent teeth obtained from the patients aged between 8 and 18 years. Then the difference betwe...
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...
متن کاملperiplasmic expression of a novel human bone morphogenetic protein-7 mutant in escherichia coli
background: bone morphogenetic proteins (bmps) belong to the transforming growth factor-β (tgf-β) superfamily, and play an important role in bone metabolism. recombinant forms of bmp-2 and bmp-7 are the only bmps used clinically. in this study the mature part of human bone morphogenetic protein-7 (bmp-7) was engineered through substitution of the bmp-7 n-terminal sequence by heparin-binding sit...
