[Bone Morphogenetic Protein 3 (Osteogenic), encoded by the BMP3 gene that belongs to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGFB) superfamily. Bone morphogenic protein 3 induces bone formation by signaling through receptor serine/threonine kinases. It is expressed in lung, ovary and small intestine. The expression signals of BMP3 mRNA in malignant schwannoma are relatively lower than in benign lesions. (From LocusLink, Swiss_Prot and NCI) ( NCI )]
