Bone morphogenetic protein 10 (BMP10) is aprotein that in humans is encoded by theBMP10gene.[5][6]
BMP10 is a polypeptide belonging to theTGF-β superfamily ofproteins.[6] It is a novel protein that, unlike most otherBMP's, is likely to be involved in the trabeculation of the heart. Bone morphogenetic proteins are known for their ability to induce bone and cartilage development. BMP10 is categorized as a BMP since it shares a largesequence homology with other BMP's in the TGF-β superfamily.
