BMP5
BMP5 (Bone morphogenetic protein 5) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Colorectal cancer.
Overview
Growth factor of the TGF-beta superfamily that plays essential roles in many developmental processes, including cartilage and bone formation or neurogenesis. Initiates the canonical BMP signalling cascade by associating with type I receptor BMPR1A and type II receptor BMPR2. In turn, BMPR1A propagates signal by phosphorylating SMAD1/5/8 that travel to the nucleus and act as activators and repressors of transcription of target genes.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.53 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.92, animal model 0.62, genetic association 0.58, somatic mutation 0.50).

Biology
Growth factor of the TGF-beta superfamily that plays essential roles in many developmental processes, including cartilage and bone formation or neurogenesis. Initiates the canonical BMP signalling cascade by associating with type I receptor BMPR1A and type II receptor BMPR2. In turn, BMPR1A propagates signal by phosphorylating SMAD1/5/8 that travel to the nucleus and act as activators and repressors of transcription of target genes. Can also signal through non-canonical pathway such as MAPK p38 signalling cascade to promote chondrogenic differentiation. Promotes the expression of HAMP, this is repressed by its interaction with ERFE. Location: Secreted (UniProt). Locus 6p12.1 (HGNC).

Notes
top- Written by scripts/fetch-cancer-genes.ts from CIViC, Open Targets, IntOGen, HGNC and UniProt; the function text is UniProt's, condensed and in UK spelling. Roles: none stated by the sources. Evidence tier "association-only" is the strongest of those signals.
- Prevalence not recorded: none of the sources gives a positivity rate.
