Bone morphogenetic protein 10 (BMP-10) is a TGF-b superfamily member whose expression is restricted to the developing and postnatal heart. It is synthesized as a 424aa pre-proprotein with a putative 21aa signal peptide, a 292aa propeptide, and a 108aa mature protein. Mature BMP-10 is secreted as a 25kD disulfide-linked homodimer. The mouse BMP-10 proprotein shares 86-95aa sequence identity with human and rat BMP-10, respectively.
