Description:
BMPR1B is a member of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptor family of transmembrane serine/threonine kinases. The BMPs are signalling molecules that belong to the transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) family of proteins and participate in several processes including cell growth, development, morphogenesis, apoptosis and immune responses. BMPs transduce signals by binding to heteromeric complexes of type-I and type-II receptors, which in turn activate transcriptional regulators called SMADs. BMPR1B is a type I receptor. Type-II receptors bind ligands but they require their respective type-I receptors for signalling. Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with glomerular filtration rate in sickle cell nephropathy in African Americans.
