bone morphogenetic protein-1
A metalloproteinase encoded by BMP1 on chromosome 8p21, which cleaves the C-terminal propeptides of procollagen I, II and III, inducing cartilage and bone formation. BMP1 differs from other BMPs as it is not a member of the TGF-beta superfamily.Segen's Medical Dictionary. © 2012 Farlex, Inc. All rights reserved.
