Background

Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) are members of the TGFbeta superfamily. BMPs are involved in the induction of cartilage and bone formation. In vivo studies have shown that BMP-2 (also designated BMP-2A) and BMP-3 can independently induce cartilage formation. Smad3 association with the TGFbeta receptor complex and Smad1 translocation to the nucleus are observed after the addition of BMP-4 (also designated BMP-2B), suggesting that BMP-4 may play a role in activation of the Smad pathway. BMP-5, BMP-6 and BMP-7 all share high sequence homology with BMP-2, indicating that they each may be able to induce cartilage formation. BMP-8 (also designated OP-2) is thought to be involved in early development, as detectable expression has not been found in adult organs.

FAQs for BMP-2 Recombinant Protein (NBP2-76250). (Showing 1 - 1 of 1 FAQ).

1. I am interested in Bone Morphogenic Protein 2 (BMP-2) for clinical trial in humans. I am using this protein in stem cells culture for future use in humans. Do you have BMP-2 in pharma grade that I can use for humans?
   • Our antibodies are for research purposes only unfortunately. I am sorry we cannot be of further help.
