Entrez gene ID55589
Official gene symbolBMP2K
Full nameBMP2 inducible kinase
Aliases,BIKE,DKFZp434K0614,DKFZp434P0116,HRIHFB2017,
Gene summaryThis gene is the human homolog of mouse BMP-2-inducible kinase. Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) play a key role in skeletal development and patterning. Expression of the mouse gene is increased during BMP-2 induced differentiation and the gene product is a putative serine/threonine protein kinase containing a nuclear localization signal. Therefore, the protein encoded by this human homolog is thought to be a protein kinase with a putative regulatory role in attenuating the program of osteoblast differentiation. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
