Active Recombinant Human BMP4

• Cat.No.: BMP4-06H
• Product Overview: This E.coli derived BMP-4 is a fully active homodimeric protein consisting of two 106 amino acid subunits which correspond to amino acids 303-408 of the full length BMP-4 precursor. Manufactured using all non-animal reagents.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: Non
• Protein Length: 303-408 a.a.
• Description: Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) constitute a subfamily within the TGF-β superfamily of structurally related signaling proteins. Members of this superfamily are widely distributed throughout the body and are involved in diverse physiological processes during both pre- and postnatal life. Like BMP-7, BMP-4 is involved in the development and maintenance of bone and cartilage. Reduced expression of BMP-4 is associated with a number of bone diseases, including the heritable disorder Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva.
• Bio-activity: Determined by its ability to induce alkaline phosphatase production by ATDC-5 cells. The expected ED50 for this effect is 5-10 ng/ml.
• AA Sequence: KKNKNCRRHS LYVDFSDVGW NDWIVAPPGY QAFYCHGDCP FPLADHLNST NHAIVQTLVN SVNSSIPKAC CVPTELSAIS MLYLDEYDKV VLKNYQEMVV EGCGCR
• Purity: Greater than 98% by SDS-PAGE gel and HPLC analyses.
• Storage: Store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
• Full Length: Full L.
