Recombinant Human GDF-7/BMP-12 Protein Summary
Recombinant bioactive protein for Human GDF-7/BMP-12
Source:E. coli
Amino Acid Sequence:(BAD07014)
Method
>98% SDS-PAGE
The protein is biologically active as determined by its ability to induce alkaline phosphatase production by ADTC5 mouse chondrogenic cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.2 -2.5 ug/ml.

Background
BMPs (bone morphogenetic proteins) belong to the TGF-Beta superfamily of structurally related signaling proteins. As implied by their name, BMPs promote and regulate bone development, growth, remodeling and repair, in both prenatal development and postnatal growth of eye, heart, kidney, skin, and other tissues. BMP-12 is highly conserved across species. BMP-12 regulates chondrogenesis, bone morphogenesis, and neuron differentiation. Recombinant human BMP-12 is a 27 kDa disulfide-linked homodimer containing two 122 amino acid polypeptide chains.
