BMP-9: Products

 

BMP-9 (Bone morphogenetic protein 9, GDF-2) is expressed by non-parenchymal cells in the liver, where it promotes lipid metabolism and inhibits glucose production. BMP-9 exerts a prolonged hypoglycemic effect. BMP-9 functions in the development and maintenance of the cholinergic neuronal phenotype and induces the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into the chondrogenic lineage.
