bone morphogenetic protein-4

A protein encoded by BMP-4 on chromosome 14q22-q23, which plays a key role in endochondral bone formation, formation of teeth, limbs and bone from mesoderm and fracture repair. Reduced BMP4 expression has been linked to various bone diseases—e.g., fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva.
