{"symbol":"BMP1","synonyms":["OI13","PCOLC","TLD","PCP","PCP2"],"name":"bone morphogenetic protein 1","description":"This gene encodes a protein that is capable of inducing formation of cartilage in vivo. Although other bone morphogenetic proteins are members of the TGF-beta superfamily, this gene encodes a protein that is not closely related to other known growth factors. This gene is expressed as alternatively spliced variants that share an N-terminal protease domain but differ in their C-terminal region.
