    substance that inhibits Bone Morphogenetic Protein activity

    A BMP antagonist, also known as a Bone Morphogenetic Protein antagonist, is a substance that inhibits the activity of BMPs, which are proteins involved in the regulation of cell growth, differentiation, and development. By blocking BMP signaling, these antagonists can influence various biological processes, including bone formation and hair growth, making them relevant in medical research and treatments for conditions like alopecia and bone disorders.
