Gene information for BMP15 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9210
Official gene symbolBMP15
Full namebone morphogenetic protein 15
Aliases,GDF9B,ODG2,POF4,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a member of the bone morphogenetic protein family which is part of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily. The transforming growth factor-beta superfamily includes large families of growth and differentiation factors. It is thought that this protein may be involved in oocyte maturation and follicular development as a homodimer or by forming heterodimers with a related protein, Gdf9. Defects in this gene are the cause of ovarian dysgenesis 2.
