The activity of BMPs was first identified in the 1960s (21), but the proteins responsible for bone induction remained unknown until the purification and sequencing of bovine BMP-3 (
osteogenin) and the cloning of human BMP-2 and 4 in the late 1980s (22,23).

osteogenin. Journal of Cell Biology, 5: 273.
DBM contains active proteins such as bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-b),
osteogenin, insulin-like growth factor, and fibroblast growth factor, which are mostly regarded as members of the TGF-b superfamily.7 In recent years, several studies have demonstrated the success of DBM for reconstructive maxillofacial surgery, and sinus augmentation is used in various graft sizes and forms.2-4,8-10
Breitbart et al (125) conducted experimental trials with TCP ceramic and
osteogenin, an osteoinductive protein as an onlay graft substitute in a rabbit calvarial model.
In the third subclass, and more distantly related to these factors, is BMP-3, which is also called
osteogenin (Wozney 2002).
Next, they treated the muscle with
osteogenin and demineralized bone matrix, two substances that promote the growth of bone cells.
In 18 animals, the researchers injected the muscle flap with
osteogenin, a naturally occurring protein in bone that scientists believe may play an important role in the development of the fetal skeleton.

Osteogenin inhibits proliferation and stimulates differentiation in mouse osteoblast-like cells (MC 3T3-E1).
