BMP7 functions predominantly as a heterodimer with BMP2 or BMP4 during mammalian embryogenesis

BMP7/BMP2 or BMP7/BMP4 heterodimers are more active than homodimers in vitro, but it is not known whether these heterodimers signal in vivo. To test this, we generated knock in mice carrying a mutation (Bmp7(R-GFlag)) that prevents proteolytic activation of the dimerized BMP7 precursor protein. This...
