Gene Information
mouse ... BMP4(12159)
General description
The gene BMP4 (bone morphogenetic protein 4) encodes a member of the TGFβ (transforming growth factor β) superfamily of intercellular signaling proteins. It is found to be expressed in the extraembryonic ectoderm and mesoderm. E. coli derived murine BMP-4 is a fully active homodimeric protein consisting of two 106 amino acid subunits, which correspond to amino acids 303-408 of the full length BMP-4 precursor.
Application
Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) mouse has been used as an agonist for activin A receptor 1 (ALK2) receptors to test the effects of ALK2 activation in cell death.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) facilitates the the formation of allantois and primordial germ cell precursors in mouse embryo. It participates in hepatic specification in the early embryo. It is critical for the lens-inducing activity of optic vesicle in mouse embryo. BMP4 mediates atrioventricular septation of the mouse heart.
Physical form
Lyophilized from 10 mM Citric Acid.
Reconstitution
Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in 10 mM Citric Acid to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.
