Summary
Enables protein heterodimerization activity and receptor ligand activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; and synapse organization. Located in dense core granule. Is active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including embryonic/larval gut; germ layer; gonad; imaginal disc; and presumptive embryonic/larval system. Used to study diabetes mellitus and obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in prostate cancer. Orthologous to several human genes including BMP5 (bone morphogenetic protein 5); BMP7 (bone morphogenetic protein 7); and BMP8A (bone morphogenetic protein 8a).
