Scientific Background

BMPR1A (Bone Morphogenetic Protein Receptor Type IA), also known as ALK3 or ACVRLK3, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the BMPR1A gene. Ide et al. (1998) used fluorescence in situ hybridization and radiation hybrid mapping to localize the BMPR1A gene to human chromosome 10q22.3. Eng (2001) pointed out that the TGF-beta/BMP superfamily of molecules has been shown to be defective not only in neoplasia but also in the noncancer developmental syndromes primary pulmonary hypertension and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. By Northern analysis, ten Dijke et al. (1993) showed that ALK3 was expressed almost exclusively in human skeletal muscle with weak expression in heart and placenta.
