obsolete sequestering of BMP in extracellular matrix https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/30777 true GO:0035582 OBSOLETE. Confining a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) to the extracellular matrix (ECM), such that it is separated from other components of the signaling pathway, including its cell surface receptor. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are secreted as homodimers, non-covalently associated with N-terminal pro-peptides, and are targeted to the extracellular matrix through interaction with matrix proteins. negative regulation of bone morphogenetic protein signaling pathway by extracellular matrix sequestering of bone morphogenetic protein BMP sequestration in the ECM The reason for obsoletion is that this term represents a molecular function and not a real GO process. 2010-10-12T03:12:45Z negative regulation of BMP signalling pathway by extracellular matrix sequestering of BMP bf biological_process negative regulation of BMP signaling pathway by extracellular sequestering of BMP
