84-1081-74　Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 (BMP2) 100ul　B2553-05H

特徴

• The BMPs belong to the TGF- Beta superfamily, whose members are widely represented throughout the animal kingdom.
• The BMPs are important regulators of key events in the processes of bone formation during embryogenesis, postnatal growth, remodeling and regeneration of the skeleton.
• The BMPs function by binding to a receptor complex that is found on all normal cells and is composed of type-I and –II receptors.
• The primary unit of bone formation is osteoblast, the bone-forming cell.
• These osteoblast cells respond to physical loading by transducing signals that alter gene expression patterns, and Cbfa (core binding factor), the osteoblast specific transcription factor plays an important role in osteoblast differentiation and function.
• Localization studies in both human and mouse tissues have demonstrated high levels of mRNA expression and protein synthesis for various BMPs in kidney, heart, lung, small intestine, limb bud and teeth.
• Several BMPs have been implicated in early skeletal development, including BMP-2, -4, -5, -7, -14 (CDMP-1 / GDF-5), other members, such as BMP-3, -6, -7 and –13 (CDMP-2 / GDF-6) may be involved in later stages of skeletal formation.
• BMP2 or BMP-2A, a 396aa protein in human (chr 20p12) belongs to the TGF-beta family, It is involved in cartilage and bone formation during embryogenesis, but may have additional functions in morphogenesis as implied by its expression in various organs and embryonic tissues.
• It is abundant in lung, spleen, and colon.
• Applications:Western Blot (1:1000 with appropriate secondary reagents to detect human BMP-2)
• ELISA (1:1K-1:10K).
• Storage and Stability:May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
• For long-term storage, store at -20°C.
• Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C.
• For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
• Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
