Function | On ligand binding, forms a receptor complex consisting of two type II and two type I transmembrane serine/threonine kinases. Type II receptors phosphorylate and activate type I receptors which autophosphorylate, then bind and activate SMAD transcriptional regulators. Can also mediate signaling through the activation of the p38MAPK cascade (PubMed:12045205). Binds to BMP7, BMP2 and, less efficiently, BMP4. Binding is weak but enhanced by the presence of type I receptors for BMPs. Mediates induction of adipogenesis by GDF6. |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Highly expressed in heart and liver. |

Background
BMPR2 is a type II serine/threonine receptor kinase that binds to an array of secreted bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs). BMPs belong to the superfamily of TGF-β ligands that modulate gastrulation, neurogenesis, chondrogenesis, interdigital cell death, and bone morphogenesis. In contrast to the TGF-β type II receptor, BMPR2 contains an extended carboxyl-terminal region that interacts with multiple signaling molecules to modulate the responsiveness of target genes to BMPs. BMP signaling requires oligomerization of both type I and type II receptors to elicit a functional response of target genes. BMP binding to type I and II receptors induces Smad1/5/8 phosphorylation which is required for the activation of target genes. In vitro and in vivo evidence suggests that defects in BMPR2 may contribute to pulmonary hypertension, inflammation, and endothelial injury.
