BMP2 is also known as Bone morphogenetic protein 2 or BMP2A. It is mapped to 20p12. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGFB) superfamily. BMP-2, like other bone morphogenetic proteins, plays an important role in the development of bone and cartilage. It is involved in the hedgehog pathway, TGF beta signaling pathway, and in cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction. Also, it is involved in cardiac cell differentiation and epithelial to mesenchymal transition. In addition, BMP2A has been suggested as a reasonable candidate for the human condition fibrodysplasia (myositis) ossificans progressiva, on the basis of observations in a Drosophila model.
