About Bmp4

Summary

Enables growth factor activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; positive regulation of calcium ion transport; and positive regulation of cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of ossification and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytoplasm; extracellular space; and vesicle. Biomarker of Barrett's esophagus; congenital diaphragmatic hernia; epilepsy; peptic esophagitis; and prolactinoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including CAKUT (multiple); cleft lip; orofacial cleft 11; ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of spine; and otosclerosis. Orthologous to human BMP4 (bone morphogenetic protein 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
