Literature associating BMP2 and progressive osseous heteroplasia

BMP2 [ENSP00000368104]

Bone morphogenetic protein 2; Induces cartilage and bone formation . Stimulates the differentiation of myoblasts into osteoblasts via the EIF2AK3-EIF2A- ATF4 pathway. BMP2 activation of EIF2AK3 stimulates phosphorylation of EIF2A which leads to increased expression of ATF4 which plays a central role in osteoblast differentiation. In addition stimulates TMEM119, which upregulates the expression of ATF4 ; Belongs to the TGF-beta family.
