Protein Tag: N-Trx
Uniprot: P12643
Accession: P12643
Background: Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) is a member of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGFB) superfamily. BMP2 is synthesized as a 60 kDa precursor that is processed in the secretory pathway to a small 18 kDa monomer, 2 monomers then associate to form the active 30 kDa homodimer,which binds to its receptor. There is also a 40-45 kDa form of BMP2,as an amino-terminal propeptide. BMP2 can induce bone formation and regeneration during early embryonic development. It is involved in the hedgehog pathway,TGF beta signaling pathway,and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction.
Bio Acitivity: Not validated for activity
Sequence: Gln283-Arg396
Purity: > 90% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS with 5% Trehalose and 5% Mannitol.
Reconstitution: It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.5 mg/mL. Concentration is measured by UV-Vis.
Endotoxin: < 10 EU/mg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.
