Bone morphogenic protein 2 (health) and acute lobar nephrosis (medicine)


Bone morphogenic protein 2 (health)


A protein that induces the formation of bone and cartilage. Bone morphogenic protein 2 (which is symbolized BMP2) belongs to a superfamily called transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta). The gene for BMP2 is on chromosome 20 in band 20p12.3. Three sets of variations within the BMP2 gene reportedly triple the risk of developing osteoporosis.





acute lobar nephrosis (medicine)


acute lobar nephrosis


A severe but localised bacterial infection of the renal parenchyma that may produce a mass effect simulating a renal abscess.
