The Role of Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 in Lung Diseases

Current Molecular Medicine, 2023
: Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) is a multifunctional secretory protein that belongs to the transforming growth factor β superfamily. BMPs transduce their signaling to the cytoplasm by binding to membrane receptors of the serine/threonine kinase family, including BMP type I and type II receptors. BMP4 participates in various biological processes,

Bone morphogenetic protein-4

The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 1996
Bone morphogenic protein-4 (BMP-4) is one of nine structurally related BMPs belonging to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily of secreted proteins. Mature BMP-4 is a dimer that binds to a multimeric transmembrane receptor with serine/threonine kinase activity.

The Role of Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 in Ovarian Function and Diseases

Reproductive Sciences, 2021
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are the largest subfamily of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily. BMP4 is a secreted protein that was originally identified due to its role in bone and cartilage development. Over the past decades, extensive literature has indicated that BMP4 and its receptors are widely expressed in the ovary ...

The role of bone morphogenetic protein 4 in corneal injury repair

Experimental Eye Research, 2021
Corneal injury may cause neovascularization and lymphangiogenesis in cornea which have a detrimental effect to vision and even lead to blindness. Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) regulates a variety of biological processes, which is closely relevant to the regulation of corneal epithelium and angiogenesis.

Bone Morphogenetic Protein‐2 Antagonizes Bone Morphogenetic Protein‐4 Induced Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy and Apoptosis

Journal of Cellular Physiology, 2014
Our previous work showed that the expression of bone morphogenetic protein‐4 (BMP4) was up‐regulated in pathological cardiac hypertrophy models and BMP4 induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and apoptosis. Bone morphogenetic protein‐2 (BMP2) and BMP4 share greater than 80% amino acid homology and there exists an interaction between BMP2 and BMP4, so the ...

Bone morphogenetic protein 4 alleviates pulmonary fibrosis by regulating macrophages

International Immunopharmacology, 2023
Fibrosis is a pathological change mainly characterized by an increase of fibrous connective tissue and decrease of parenchymal cells. Its continuous progress may lead to the destruction of organ structure and function decline. An excess of alternatively activated M2 macrophages have been considered crucial candidates in the progression of fibrosis ...

Bone Morphogenetic Protein-4 Control of Pituitary Pathophysiology

2006
Bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4), a member of the transforming growth factor-Beta(TGF-Beta) family, is overexpressed in different prolactinoma models and induces the development of these lineage adenomas. SMAD proteins activated by growth factors of the TGF-Beta and BMP family interact with estrogen receptors to stimulate the proliferation of ...
