Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables BMP binding activity and BMP receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including circulatory system development; fibrous ring of heart morphogenesis; and positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including limb morphogenesis; regionalization; and regulation of gene expression. Located in cell surface. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Used to study Ebstein anomaly; Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome; and osteoarthritis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary mixed polyposis syndrome 2; intestinal disease; and juvenile polyposis syndrome. Orthologous to human BMPR1A (bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 1A).
