This gene encodes a secreted protein that interacts with, and inhibits bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) function. It has been shown to inhibit BMP2- and BMP4-dependent osteoblast differentiation and BMP-dependent differentiation of the chondrogenic cells. Mutations in this gene are associated with a lethal skeletal disorder, diaphanospondylodysostosis. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011].
BMPER is a BMP-binding protein that is expressed by endothelial cell precursors, has BMP-antagonizing activity, and may play a role in endothelial cell differentiation by modulating local BMP activity. It may also regulate BMP responsiveness in osteoblasts and chondrocytes.
Subunit:
Interacts with BMP4.
Subcellular Location:
Secreted.
Tissue Specificity:
Highly expressed in lung, and brain and also in primary chondrocytes.
Similarity:
Contains 1 TIL (trypsin inhibitory-like) domain. Contains 5 VWFC domains. Contains 1 VWFD domain.
