ID:BMP7_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Bone morphogenetic protein 7; Short=BMP-7; AltName: Full=Osteogenic protein 1; Short=OP-1; AltName: INN=Eptotermin alfa; Flags: Precursor; FUNCTION: Induces cartilage and bone formation. May be the osteoinductive factor responsible for the phenomenon of epithelial osteogenesis. Plays a role in calcium regulation and bone homeostasis. SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Interacts with SOSTDC1. Interacts with TWSG1 (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in the kidney and bladder. Lower levels seen in the brain. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Expressed in the developing eye, brain and ear during embryogenesis. PTM: Several N-termini starting at positions 293, 300, 315 and 316 have been identified by direct sequencing resulting in secretion of different mature forms (PubMed:17977014). PHARMACEUTICAL: Available under the name Osigraft (Stryker). Its use is indicated in the treatment of tibial non-union of at least 9 months duration, secondary to trauma, in skeletally mature patients, in cases where autograft has failed or is unfeasible. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the TGF-beta family. WEB RESOURCE: Name=Wikipedia; Note=Bone morphogenetic protein 7 entry; URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_morphogenetic_protein_7";
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
