BMP4 activation and secretion are negatively regulated by an intracellular gremlin-BMP4 interaction.

Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) is a potent growth factor that is involved in many important biological processes. Regulation of the level of secreted mature BMP4 determines the biological effects of BMP4 on cells in the local microenvironment. Previous studies suggested that Gremlin, a member o...
