bone morphogenetic protein
- bone morphogenetic protein
- (BMP) any of a group of related proteins involved in induction of bone and cartilage formation and important in embryonic patterning and early skeleton formation. They are metalloproteinases with several highly conserved regions and are members of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily of proteins; binding of BMPs to their corresponding cell-surface receptors begins a signaling cascade that activates transcriptional factors. Recombinant BMPs are used in spine surgery to promote osteogenesis.
