High impact information on Bmp2

Triple Bmp2/Bmp4/Bmp7 depletion further compromised trunk development but did not eliminate dorsoventral patterning [1].
Depletion of Bmp2, Bmp4, Bmp7 and Spemann organizer signals induces massive brain formation in Xenopus embryos [1].

Anatomical context of Bmp2

They can neuralize ectoderm and dorsalize ventral mesoderm by blocking the ventralizing signals Bmp2 and Bmp4 [2].
