(redirected from BMPR-II)

BMPR2

A gene on chromosome 2q33-q34 that encodes a member of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-receptor family of transmembrane serine/threonine kinases, which binds BMPs and plays a central role in endochondral bone formation and embryogenesis. Type-II receptors bind ligands in the absence of type-I receptors, but require their respective type-I receptors for signalling. Type-II receptors phosphorylate and activate type-I receptors, which autophosphorylate then bind and activate SMAD transcriptional regulators.

Molecular pathology
BMPR2 mutations are associated with familial and fenfluramine-associated primary pulmonary hypertension and with pulmonary venoocclusive disease.

BMP15 controls many aspects of follicular development by binding to its two receptors including serine-threonine kinase type I (BMPR-IB) and type II (BMPR-II) on the surface of granulosa cells (5, 6).

Secondly, to investigate their effects on the expression of developmental genes including PCNA, BMPR-IB, BMPR-II, FSH-R, CYP17 and ZP3 by real-time RT-PCR.

Real-time RT-PCR: Evaluation of PCNA, BMPR-IB, BMPR-II, FSH-R, CYP17 and ZP3 mRNA in two cultured groups including [FSH.sup.+]/[BMP15.sup.+] and [FSH.sup.+]/[BMP15.sup.-] (which has higher percentage of growing follicles) and non-cultured ovaries as control (14 and 21 day mouse ovaries) were done by real-time RT-PCR (at least 3 repeats).

Real time RT-PCR analysis: The relative expression of PCNA, BMPR-IB, BMPR-II, FSH-R, CYP17 and ZP3 genes compared with the house-keeping gene (GAPDH) in all groups is shown in figure 3.

Other parts of our molecular results showed BMP15 and FSH supplementation down-regulated the expression of BMPR-IB, BMPR-II and FSH-R in cultured mouse ovaries.

The type II receptor subfamily includes the TGF-[beta] type II receptor (T[beta]RII), the type 2 BMP receptor (BMPR-II), the antimullerian hormone receptor (AMHR), and the type II and type III activin receptors (ActR-II and IIB).
