Structure and sequence of mouse bone morphogenetic protein-2 gene (BMP-2): comparison of the structures and promoter regions of BMP-2 and BMP-4 genes. Academic Article

abstract

• Screening of a mouse spleen genomic DNA library with mouse BMP-4 and BMP-2 cDNA probes led to the isolation of mouse BMP-2 gene. This gene contains approximately 11 kb transcription unit and 3 exons. The deduced protein has 394 amino acids. The C-terminal amino acid mature coding region is identical to that of the human BMP-2. Comparison of mouse BMP-2 and BMP-4 gene shows little similarity in exon/intron structure, although the mature coding peptide regions of both genes share over 90% identity at the amino acid level.
