Bone morphogenetic protein 5 (BMP5) is a polypeptide member of the TGFβ superfamily of proteins. Bone morphogenetic proteins are known for their ability to induce bone and cartilage development. BMP5 may play a role in certain cancers. Like other BMP's BMP5 is inhibited by chordin and noggin. It is expressed in the trabecular meshwork and optic nerve head and may have a role in the development and normal function. It is also expressed in the lung and liver.
TGF beta superfamily of ligands:
Activin A and B - Anti-müllerian hormone - Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP2, BMP3, BMP4, BMP5, BMP6, BMP7, BMP8a, BMP8b, BMP10 , BMP15) - Growth differentiation factors (GDF1, GDF2, GDF3, GDF5, GDF6, GDF7, GDF9, GDF10, GDF11, GDF15) - Inhibin A and B - Myostatin - Nodal - TGF beta family (TGF-β1, TGF-β2, TGF-β3)
Type II receptors:ACVR2A - ACVR2B - AMHR2 - BMPR2 - TGFBR2 - TGFBR3
Type I receptors: ACVR1A - ACVR1B - ACVR1C - ACVRL1 - BMPR1A - BMPR1B - TGFBR1
Signal transducers/SMAD: R-SMAD (SMAD1, SMAD2, SMAD3, SMAD5, SMAD9) - I-SMAD (SMAD6, SMAD7) - SMAD4
Ligand Inhibitors: Cerberus - Chordin - DAN - Decorin - Follistatin - Gremlin - Lefty - LTBP1 - Noggin - THBS1
