Bone morphogenic proteins are known to stimulate eye lens formation. Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) play a key role in skeletal development and patterning. Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) are important regulators of optic cup development. Somatic cells of monocots differentiate quickly and then lose mitotic and morphogenic capability. Regulation is achieved via protein concentration gradients, called morphogenic fields. Differentiation of the gonads requires a tightly regulated cascade of genetic, molecular and morphogenic events. OI caused by a mutation in the bone morphogenic protein 1 (BMP1) gene. It is released from the notochord and regulates bone morphogenic protein (BMP4) during development. Light can control morphogenic processes such as leaf size and shoot elongation. Gene "abd-B" is transcribed in two different forms, a regulatory protein, and a morphogenic protein. GDF7 is also known as bone morphogenic protein 12 (BMP-12). The following morphogenic events are only particular to eudicots, and not monocots. In her graduate work, Rogulja explored how morphogenic gradients control growth in development. MUC-4 may also have a role in fetal morphogenic development. Comparative miRNA array led to the isolation of several Bone Morphogenic Protein 2 (BMP2)-responsive miRNAs.
