Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a group of growth factors belonging to the transforming growth factor β(TGF-β) family. While initially recognized for their role in bone formation, BMPs have emerged as significant players in liver diseases. Among BMPs with various physiological activities, this comprehensive review aims to delve into the involvement of BMP9 specifically in liver diseases and provide insights into the complex BMP signaling pathway. Through an enhanced understanding of BMP9, we anticipate the discovery of new therapeutic options and potential strategies for managing liver diseases.
骨形态发生蛋白(BMPs)是一组属于转化生长因子 β(TGF-β)家族的生长因子。尽管最初因其在骨形成中的作用而被认识,但 BMPs 已成为肝脏疾病的重要参与者。在具有各种生理活性的 BMPs 中,本综述旨在深入探讨 BMP9 在肝脏疾病中的具体作用,并深入了解复杂的 BMP 信号通路。通过对 BMP9 的深入了解,我们预计将发现治疗肝脏疾病的新的治疗选择和潜在策略。
