Category: Recombinant Protein

Synonyms: bone morphogenetic protein 2; BDA2; BMP2A; bone morphogenetic protein 4; ZYME; BMP2B; OFC11; BMP2B1; MCOPS6

Isotype: N/A

Application: N/A

Detection Range: Measured by the ability of BMP-2 to induce alkaline phosphatase production by C2C12 myogenic cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.3-0.8 µg/ml.

Species Reactivity/Cross reactivity: Human

Antigen: N/A

Description: Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP-2) is a disulfide-bonded homodimeric protein with an apparent molecular weight of 26 kDa. BMP-2 regulates similarly to its nearest homologue BMP-4 diverse fundamental processes during embryonic development: BMP-2 and other BMP proteins have great potential for medical therapeutic applications, in particular because they allow or at least accelerate the ossification of extensive bone lesions. The amino acid sequence of recombinant human BMP-2 starts with MQAKHKQ (position 283) containing the Met from the E. coli expression vector. BMP-2 is a heparin binding protein.

Purity Confirmation: > 95% by SDS-PAGE

Endotoxin: < 0.1 ng per µg of BMP-2

Formulation: lyophilized

Storage Handling Stability: Lyophilized samples are stable for greater than six months at -20°C to -70°C. Reconstituted BMP-2 should be stored in working aliquots at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles!

Reconstituation: The lyophilized BMP-2 is best soluble in 50 mM acetic acid at a concentration of 0.1mg/ml but should be also soluble in most aqueous buffers when the pH is below 6.0.

Molecular Weight: 26.0 kDa
