Question

What does noggin do to BMP repression?

a) Enhances BMP signaling
b) Inhibits BMP signaling
c) Activates BMP transcription
d) Stimulates BMP translation

Answer 1

Noggin inhibits BMP signaling by preventing the activation of transcription factors and decreasing the expression of BMP-related genes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The noggin protein acts as an inhibitor of BMP (bone morphogenetic protein) signaling.

BMP is a protein involved in various cellular processes, including embryonic development, cell differentiation, and tissue regeneration.

By inhibiting BMP signaling, noggin prevents the activation of transcription factors and decreases the expression of BMP-related genes.
