Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** 1. **Structure and Expression:** BMP4 is a secreted protein encoded by the BMP4 gene, with a predicted molecular weight of approximately 17 kDa. It is highly expressed in embryonic tissues, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, and limbs, and plays a crucial role in their development. 2. **Cellular Expression:** BMP4 is expressed in various cell types, including pulmonary interstitial fibroblasts, mesodermal cells, granulocyte-monocyte progenitor cells, leptomeningeal cells, kidney cells, skeletal muscle fibroblasts, epithelial cells of the nephron, fallopian tube secretory epithelial cells, early T lineage precursors, and cerebral cortex GABAergic interneurons. 3. **Protein-Protein Interactions:** BMP4 interacts with several receptors, including the type II receptor (BMPR2) and the type I receptor (BMPR1A), facilitating its downstream signaling pathways. **Pathways and Functions:** 1. **Developmental Biology:** BMP4 plays a crucial role in embryonic development, regulating the specification of anterior/posterior axis, anterior/posterior axis specification, and cardiac right ventricle morphogenesis. 2. **Apoptotic Process:** BMP4 is involved in the regulation of apoptotic processes, particularly in endocardial cushion morphogenesis and cardiac septum development. 3. **Blood Vessel Endothelial Cell Proliferation:** BMP4 promotes endothelial cell proliferation, involved in sprouting angiogenesis. 4. **Chondrocyte Differentiation:** BMP4 regulates chondrocyte differentiation, essential for endochondral ossification. 5. **Endoderm Development:** BMP4 is involved in the development of the endoderm, a critical organ system in embryonic development. **Clinical Significance:** 1. **Congenital Heart Defects:** BMP4 has been implicated in the development of congenital heart defects, such as atrial septal defects and ventricular septal defects. 2. **Bone Development:** BMP4 is involved in bone development, and alterations in BMP4 expression have been linked to bone disorders, including osteoporosis and osteogenesis imperfecta. 3. **Cancer:** BMP4 has been implicated in cancer development and progression, particularly in the context of bone metastasis. 4. **Neurological Disorders:** BMP4 has been linked to neurological disorders, including cerebral cortical development and cognitive function. In conclusion, BMP4 is a multifunctional gene that plays a crucial role in embryonic development, tissue homeostasis, and adult tissue regeneration. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, including congenital heart defects, bone disorders, cancer, and neurological disorders. Further research is needed to elucidate the complex mechanisms underlying BMP4's functions and to explore its potential therapeutic applications.
