Bmp8a - bone morphogenetic protein 8a

Predicted to enable BMP receptor binding activity and cytokine activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including diet induced thermogenesis; energy homeostasis; and transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within germ cell development and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Orthologous to several human genes including BMP8A (bone morphogenetic protein 8a). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
