Analysis reveals that high bmp-9 levels improve prognosis in crc patients, suggesting protective roles of id1.
BMP-9 is a secreted cytokine belonging to the TGF-β superfamily and circulating with the blood stream of healthy individuals in a constitutive fashion. We previously showed that in addition to the liver, BMP-9 is also locally expressed in the small intestine and by upregulating ID1 expression, it seems to have protective functions in the setting of colorectal cancer (CRC).
