Bone morphogenetic protein complex
Bone morphogenetic protein complex, molecular model. Bone Morphogenetic Protein-7 (BMP-7, blue) in complex with the secreted antagonist Noggin (pink). Protein interactions like this regulate the formation of bone and cartilage tissue, though the BMP signalling system is now thought to influence tissue structure throughout the body. When this signalling system goes wrong, it can result in cancers forming. BMP-7 functions include kidney repair and development. Noggin acts to inhibit the effects of several BMPs, including BMP-7

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of the Bone Morphogenetic Protein complex, featuring the vital protein BMP-7 in a striking blue hue. In this visual representation, BMP-7 is seen bound to its secreted antagonist Noggin, depicted in an elegant shade of pink. The interaction between these proteins plays a crucial role in regulating bone and cartilage tissue formation within our bodies. However, recent scientific discoveries have unveiled that the influence of the BMP signaling system extends far beyond skeletal development. It now appears that this intricate network also impacts tissue structure throughout various parts of our body. When this signaling system malfunctions or goes awry, it can lead to the formation of cancerous cells. BMP-7 serves multiple functions including kidney repair and development, highlighting its significance in maintaining optimal bodily functions. On the other hand, Noggin acts as an inhibitor for several BMPs, including BMP-7 itself. The black background enhances the visual impact of this illustration while emphasizing its biological context. This artwork provides us with a deeper understanding of how these macromolecules interact and bind together to regulate essential processes such as bone formation. With its detailed depiction and insightful portrayal of biochemical interactions at play within our bodies, this print from Science Photo Library offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of molecular biology and proteomics research.
