BMP8B - bone morphogenetic protein 8b Gene
Also Known as OP2; BMP8
Species: Homo sapiens
About BMP8B
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 212 orthologues and 31 paralogues. Broad expression in thyroid (RPKM 7.4), adrenal (RPKM 2.8) and 20 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of Smad Family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. The encoded protein stimulates thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue. Expression of this gene may be downregulated in pancreatic Cancer. This gene may have arose from a gene duplication event and its gene duplicate is also present on chromosome 1.
