BMP8B（bone morphogenetic protein 8b） 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 BMP8B may be downregulated in pancreatic cancer. BMP8B may have arose from a gene duplication event and its gene duplicate is also present on chromosome 1.蛋白別名為：BMP8B; BMP8; Bone morphogenetic protein 8B; BMP-8; BMP-8B; Osteogenic protein 2; OP-2; BMP8A; Bone morphogenetic protein 8A; BMP-8A;基因ID為：656；蛋白質ID:P34820/Q7Z5Y6
