Heart specific expression of mouse BMP-10 a novel member of the TGF-beta superfamily

Mech Dev. 1999 Feb;80(2):181-4. doi: 10.1016/s0925-4773(98)00221-4.

Abstract

Here we report the cloning and expression of murine BMP-10, a novel member of the TGF-beta superfamily. In the mouse embryo, BMP-10 expression begins at 9.0 d.p.c. and is restricted to the developing heart. Initially, BMP-10 expression localizes to the trabeculated part of the common ventricular chamber and to the bulbus cordis region. After 12.5 d.p.c., additional BMP-10 expression is seen in the atrial wall. The data presented here suggest that BMP-10 plays an important role in trabeculation of the embryonic heart.
