Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) is a disulfide-bonded homodimeric protein which regulates similiarly to its nearest homologue BMP-4 diverse fundamental processes during embryonic development. BMP proteins have great potential for medical therapeutic applications, in particular because they allow or at least accelerate the ossification of extensive bone lesions.
