Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are the members of the TGF-β superfamily and are identified as the critical factors for formation of bone and cartilage, hematopoietic cell formation and mesoderm patterning. Apart from this BMPs have immune regulatory functions. The cellular effects of BMPs are mediated by a heteromeric complex composed of type I and type II receptors. Among the BMPs, BMP-4 has major role in mammalian hematopoiesis, formation of mesoderm, myogenesis and differentiation of embryonic stem cells. BMP-4 signaling involves activation of major pathways such as Hedgehog and Wnt signaling.. Monoclonal Anti-BMP-4 recognizes human BMP-4. The antibody shows ~5% cross reactivity with recombinant human BMP-2, recombinant mouse BMP RIA, and recombinant mouse BMP-RIB.
Specificity
The antibody shows approximately 5% cross-reactivity with recombinant human BMP-2, mouse BMP RIA, and mouse BMP RIB.
Immunogen
recombinant monomeric human BMP-4 expressed in NSO cells.
Application
The antibody is suitable for neutralization assays at a working concentration of 1-3 μg/ml (ND50).
Physical form
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in in phosphate buffered saline with 5% trehalose.
Preparation Note
Purified using protein G.

Blood formation occurs throughout the life of an individual in a process driven by hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). The ability of bone marrow (BM) and cord blood (CB) HSC to undergo self-renewal and develop into multiple blood lineages has made

Discovered in 1965, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a group of cytokines from the transforming growth factor-beta (TGFbeta) superfamily with significant roles in bone and cartilage formation. BMPs are used as powerful osteoinductive components of diverse tissue-engineering products for the
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily, bind to two different serine/threonine kinase receptors, and mediate their signals through Smad-dependent and Smad-independent pathways. Receptor regulated-Smad (R-Smad) proteins specific for the BMP pathways interact with various
