Gene information for GDF7 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID151449
Official gene symbolGDF7
Full namegrowth differentiation factor 7
Aliases,BMP12,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family. BMPs belong to the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily of secreted signalling molecules that regulate diverse processes in growth, repair and embryonic development. In mouse, this gene functions as an inductive signal from the roof plate required for the specification of neuronal identity in the dorsal spinal cord. [provided by RefSeq]
