　　In vertebrates,bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) play an important role in various biological processes.However,the function of BMPs in crustaceans is still unknown.In our study,a ligand (BMP7) and two receptors (Sp-BMPRIB and Sp-BMPRII) are cloned firstly in the mud crab,Scylla paramamosain.The qRT-PCR demonstrated that both ligand and receptors were expressed in various tissues,especially in ovary.
