human ... BMP2(650)

General description

BMP2 (bone morphogenetic protein 2) belongs to the transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) superfamily. BMP-2 is expressed in a variety of tissues such as lung, spleen, brain, liver, prostate ovary, and small intestine. BioVision′s BMP-2 is produced in a serum-free, chemically defined media. Production in human 293 cells offers authentic glycosylation, contributing to stability in cell growth media and other applications.BMP2 is a candidate gene for the autosomal dominant disease of fibrodysplasia (myositis) ossificans progressiva.

Application

BMP-2 human has been used to study the biological role of it on adult renal progenitor cells under in vitro and in vivo conditions.

Biochem/physiol Actions

BMPs (bone morphogenetic proteins) promote and regulate bone development, growth, remodeling and repair, in both prenatal development and postnatal growth of eye, heart, kidney, skin, and other tissues. During bone repair, BMP-2 controls the expression of Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and Osterix (Osx), thereby enhancing migration, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. In addition to its osteogenic activity, BMP-2 also plays an important role in cardiac morphogenesis.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a solution of 50 mM sodium acetate, pH 4.5, with 50 mM NaCl.

Preparation Note

Centrifuge the vial prior to opening.

Reconstitution

Reconstitute in sterile PBS containing 0.1% endotoxin-free, recombinant human serum albumin.

Sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) can direct cellular processes by interacting with proteins of the extracellular matrix (ECM). In this study we characterize the interaction profiles of chemically sulfated hyaluronan (HA) and chondroitin sulfate (CS) derivatives with bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and

Osteogenesis is a complex, multifactorial process in which many different signals interact. The bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are the most potent inducers of osteoblastic differentiation, although very high doses of BMPs in combination with collagen type I formulations have to

Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 and -7 are used in patients with long-bone fractures, nonunions and spinal fusions. It is unknown whether their potential systemic bioavailability following local bone administration might affect skeletal metabolism. To answer this question, we examined effects

How growth factors influence the fate of multipotent progenitor cells is not well understood. Most hematopoietic growth factors act selectively as survival factors, rather than instructively as lineage determination signals. In the neural crest, neuregulin instructively promotes gliogenesis, but how
