General description

Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) is a polypeptide belonging to the TGF-β superfamily of proteins. It, like other bone morphogenetic proteins, is involved in bone and cartilage development, specifically tooth and limb development and fracture repair. It has been shown to be involved in muscle development, bone mineralization, and uteric bud development. BMP4 has also been implicated in Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva in which it is underexpressed. In human embryonic development, BMP4 is a critical signalling molecule required for the early differentiation of the embryo and establishing of a dorsal-ventral axis. BMP4 is secreted from the dorsal portion of the notochord, and it acts in concert with sonic hedgehog (released from the ventral portion of the notochord) to establish a dorsal-ventral axis for the differentiation of later structures. BMP4 stimulates differentiation of overlying ectodermal tissue. Inhibition of the BMP4 signal (by chordin, noggin, or follistatin) causes the ectoderm to differentiate into the neural plate. If these cells also receive signals from FGF, they will differentiate into the spinal cord; in the absence of FGF the cells become brain tissue.

Specificity

Specific for bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) by Western blot and ELISA. No cross-reactivity with human BMP-2 or human TGF-β1. The antibody reacts with both human and mouse BMP-4 in both reduced and nonreduced conditions.
Human BMP-4 (accession number P12644) precursor (389 aa, glycosilated) consists of a propeptide (273 aa) and active BMP-4 (116 aa, glycoslyated; MW reduced 17-20 kDa).

Immunogen

Recombinant mouse BMP-4 (Masuhara, 1995).
