Background
This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer, which plays a role in bone, kidney and brown adipose tissue development. Additionally, this protein induces ectopic bone formation and may promote fracture healing in human patients. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016],
Function
function:Induces cartilage and bone formation. May be the osteoinductive factor responsible for the phenomenon of epithelial osteogenesis. Plays a role in calcium regulation and bone homeostasis.,online information:Bone morphogenetic protein 7 entry,pharmaceutical:Available under the names Osigraft (Stryker). Its use is indicated in the treatment of tibial non-union of at least 9 month duration, secondary to trauma, in skeletally mature patients, in cases where autograft has failed or is unfeasible.,PTM:Several N-termini starting at positions 293, 300, 315 and 316 have been identified by direct sequencing resulting in secretion of different mature forms (PubMed:17977014).,similarity:Belongs to the TGF-beta family.,subunit:Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Interacts with SOSTDC1. Interacts with TWSG1.,tissue specificity:Expressed in the kidneys and bladder. Lower levels seen in the brain.,
