Bone Morphogenic Protein: A Short Reveiw
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Education - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
Bone morphogenic protein (BMP) was first observed by Marshall Urist. Bmp is effective in the process of osteoinduction. BMP belongs to transforming growth factor-b superfamily. BMP is expressed in various oral lesions like osteosarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma and fibrous dysplasia. The BMP’s play an important role in cell growth, its differentiation, apoptosis, preservation of joint integrity, vascular remodeling as well as commencement of fracture healing. The article is aimed at discussing various types of BMP’s, their functions, molecular characteristics and their role in various oral lesions.
