Novel osteogenic compositions and methods are provided. In a broad aspect, the composition comprises either a first amino acid sequence which is capable of being phosphorylated by CAMK2; or a nucleic acid sequence encoding the first amino acid sequence; or a combination thereof. Optionally, the first amino acid sequence may further comprise a second amino acid sequence which is capable of binding the Smurf1 protein. Further, the composition may comprise a BMP protein and/or an agent capable of decreasing an amount or an activity of CAMK2. The compositions of the instant invention may be incorporated into an implant or delivered via a catheter.
