  • BMP4 signaling is involved in the generation of inner ear sensory epithelia.

    Li H, Corrales CE, Wang Z, Zhao Y, Wang Y, Liu H, Heller S. BMC Dev Biol. 2005: 5 16

    The robust expression of BMP4 in the incipient sensory organs of the inner ear suggests possible roles for this signaling protein during induction and development of auditory and vestibular sensory epithelia. Homozygous BMP4-/- animals die before the inner ear's sensory organs develop, which precludes determining the role of BMP4 in these organs with simple gene knockout experiments.
