Bone morphogenetic protein 8A

Bone morphogenetic protein 8A (BMP8A) is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the BMP8A is_associated_with::gene.

BMP8A is a polypeptide member of the TGFβ superfamily of proteins. It, like other is_associated_with::bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), is involved in the development of bone and cartilage. BMP8A may be involved in is_associated_with::epithelial is_associated_with::osteogenesis. It also plays a role in bone is_associated_with::homeostasis. It is a is_associated_with::disulfide-linked is_associated_with::homodimer.
