NCIt definition : A recombinant form of human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2), with potential
bone remodeling and osteoinductive activities. Following administration, dibotermin
alfa induces signaling cascades, which leads to osteoblast differentiation, enhancement
of bone repair and formation, and improvement of re-vascularization. This promotes
bone healing. BMP-2, a protein belonging to the transforming growth factor beta (TGFb)
superfamily of proteins, plays a key role in bone and cartilage formation.;
