Bone morphogenetic protein receptor type II or BMPR2 is a serine/threonine receptor kinase. It binds Bone morphogenetic proteins members of the TGF beta superfamily of ligands which are involved in paracrine signalling. BMPs are involved in a host of cellular functions including osteogenesis cell growth and cell differentiation. Signaling in the BMP pathway begins with the binding of a BMP to the type II receptor. This causes the recruitment of a BMP type I receptor which it phosphorylates.
