MeSH definition : A bone morphogenetic protein family member that includes an active tolloid-like metalloproteinase
domain. The metalloproteinase activity of bone morphogenetic protein 1 is specific
for the removal of the C-propeptide of PROCOLLAGEN and may act as a regulator of EXTRACELLULAR
MATRIX deposition. Alternative splicing of MRNA for bone morphogenetic protein 1 results
in the production of several PROTEIN ISOFORMS.;
