Background InformationBone morphogenetic protein 2 (UniProt: P12643; also known as BMP-2, BMP-2A, Bone morphogenetic protein 2A) is encoded by the BMP2 (also known as BMP2A) gene (Gene ID 650) in human. BMP2 is a member of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily. It is synthesized as a 60-kDa precursor that is processed in the secretory pathway to a small 18-kDa monomer; 2 monomers then associate to form the active homodimer, which binds to its receptor. BMP2 can induce bone formation and regeneration during early embryonic development. It is also involved in the hedgehog pathway, TGF beta signaling pathway, and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction. BMP2 is known to induce cartilage and bone formation and stimulates the differentiation of myoblasts into osteoblasts via the EIF2AK3-EIF2A- ATF4 pathway. BMP2 activation of EIF2AK3 stimulates phosphorylation of EIF2A, which leads to increased expression of ATF4 that plays a critical role in osteoblast differentiation.
