| Background |
Bone Morphogenetic Protein-13 (BMP-13), known as Growth differentiation factor 6 (GDF6), is an extracellular multifunctional cytokine that is also a member of the TGFβ family. BMP-13 can bind with the TGFβ receptor and induce SMAD protein signal transduction. BMP-13 is a regulatory protein that can affect the growth and differentiation of developing embryos. Moreover, it plays a role in regulating the patterning of the ectoderm and controlling eye development. |
