Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) belongs to the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily. It is expressed in a variety of tissues such as heart, lung and dorsal aorta. The gene encoding this protein is localized on human chromosome 20p12.3.
Immunogen
BMP2 (NP_001191, 283 a.a. ~ 396 a.a) partial recombinant protein with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26 KDa.
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) promote and regulate bone development, growth, remodeling and repair, in both prenatal development and postnatal growth of eye, heart, kidney, skin, and other tissues. During bone repair, BMP2 controls the expression of Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and osterix (Osx), thereby enhancing migration, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. In addition to its osteogenic activity, BMP2 also plays an important role in cardiac morphogenesis.
