BMP2 / BMP2A Human Protein
Specifications
| Product Data | |
| Species | Human |
|---|---|
| Expression Host | E. coli |
| Predicted MW | 26 kDa |
| Purity | >95% pure by SDS-PAGE and visualised by silver stain |
| Presentation State | Purified |
| Buffer | Presentation State: Purified State: Lyophilized purified Ig fraction Buffer System: 50 mM Acetic Acid Stabilizer: None |
| Bioactivity | Biological: Measured by the ability of BMP-2 to induce Alkaline Phosphatase production by C2C12 myogenic cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.3-0.8 µg/ml. Specific: 2.5 x 103 units/mg |
| Endotoxin | < 0.1 ng per µg of BMP-2 |
| Reconstitution Method | The lyophilized BMP-2 is best soluble in 50 mM Acetic Acid and at a concentration of 0.1 mg/ml but should be also soluble in most aqueous buffers when the pH is below 6.0 |
| Preparation | Lyophilized purified Ig fraction |
| Protein Description | Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP-2) is a disulfide-bonded homodimeric protein. BMP-2 lacks the natural N-terminus which results in a 15-20 fold increase of specific activity. The amino acid sequence of recombinant Human BMP-2 starts with MQAKHKQ (position 283) containing the Met from the E. coli expression vector. |
| Storage | Lyophilized samples are stable for 6 months from despatch at -20°C to -70°C. Reconstituted BMP-2 should be stored in working aliquots at -20°C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. |
| Shipping | Ambient |

| RefSeq | NP_001191 |
| Locus ID | 650 |
| UniProt ID | P12643 |
| Cytogenetics | 20p12.3 |
| Synonyms | Bone morphogenetic protein 2, BMP-2, BMP-2A |
| Summary | 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, which plays a role in bone and cartilage development. Duplication of a regulatory region downstream of this gene causes a form of brachydactyly characterized by a malformed index finger and second toe in human patients. provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016 |
