Descripción

General description

The functional form of BMP-2 (bone morphogenetic protein 2) is a 26kDa protein composed of two identical 114 amino-acid polypeptide chains (monomers) linked by a single disulfide bond. Each BMP-2 monomer is expressed as the C-terminal part of a precursor polypeptide, which also contains a 23 amino-acid signal sequence for secretion, and a 259 amino-acid propeptide. After dimerization of this precursor, the covalent bonds between the propeptide (which is also a disulfide-linked homodimer) and the mature BMP-2 ligand are cleaved by a furin-type protease.[1] Recombinant human BMP-2 is a 26kDa homodimeric disulfide-linked protein consisting of two identical 115 amino acid chains.

Application

BMP-2 human has been used to study the biological role of BMP-2 on adult renal progenitor cells under in vitro and in vivo conditions.[2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

BMP-2 (bone morphogenetic protein 2) is a potent osteoinductive cytokine, capable of inducing bone and cartilage formation in association with an osteoconductive carrier such as collagen and synthetic hydroxyapatite.[3] During bone repair, it controls the expression of Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and Osterix (Osx), thereby enhancing migration, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells.[2] In addition to its osteogenic activity, BMP-2 appears to play an important role in cardiac morphogenesis, and is expressed in a variety of other tissues including lung, liver, spleen, prostate, ovary, and small intestine.[4]

Physical form

Lyophilized from 0.1% TFA.

Reconstitution

Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.
