β¦ Synopsis
Bone morp hog enetic proteins (BMPs) are polypeptide signaling molecules, belonging to the TGF-P superfamily. They were originally identified by their ability to induce ectopic bone formation, but their expression patterns in embryos suggest multiple functions. BMP-7-deficient mice show among other mesodermal and skeletal patterning defects, polydactyly in the hindlimbs [
