Active Recombinant Human BMP8A Protein

• Cat.No.: BMP8A-017H
• Product Overview: The mature recombinant human BMP-8a protein consists of 139 amino acids (264-402) without tag was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Description: This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. This protein may play a role in development of the reproductive system. This gene may have arose from a gene duplication event and its gene duplicate is also present on chromosome 1.
• Source: E. coli
• Species: Human
• Bio-activity: Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. When Recombinant Human BMP-8a is present at 1 μg/mL, the concentration of recombinant human BMPR-1A Fc Chimera that produces 50% of the optimal binding response is approximately 1.5-6 μg/mL.
