Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) that are classified under transforming growth factor beta superfamily are multifactorial growth factors. These are naturally occurring proteins found in the human body, involved in numerous cellular responses. BMPs were first isolated in 1965 by scientist Marshall Urist for the ability to induce the formation of bone and cartilage. To date over 15 BMPs have been isolated and cloned. However, only BMP-2 and BMP-7 are considered to show the greatest amount of ... Read more

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) that have been classified under transforming growth factor beta super family are considered as multi-factorial growth factors. Bone morphogenetic proteins are naturally occurring proteins which are found in human body, engaged with numerous cellular responses. These bone morphogenetic proteins have been approved by the FDA for usage in various orthopedic applications like tibia non-unions, oral surgery, and spinal fusions.
