Protein Description:

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a group of growth factors also known as cytokines and as metabologens. Originally discovered by their ability to induce the formation of bone and cartilage, BMPs are now considered to constitute a group of pivotal morphogenetic signals, orchestrating tissue architecture throughout the body. The important function of BMP signals is emphasized by the multitude of roles for dysregulated BMP signaling in pathological processes. The cancerous disease often involves misregulation of the BMP signaling system. BMP-16 protein, like other bone morphogenetic proteins, plays an important role in the development of bone and cartilage.

Protein Accession: Q96S42

Gene ID: 4838

Species: Human

Activity:

Measure by its ability to induce alkaline phosphatase production by ATDC5 cells. The ED50 for this effect is <2.2 ng/mL.

Endotoxin level: <0.1 EU per 1 ug of the protein by the LAL method.

Calculated Molecular Weight: 13.75 kDa

Formulation: The protein was lyophilized from a solution containing 20 mM sodium citrate, 0.2 MNaCl, pH 3.5.

Reconstitution:

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 100 ug/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved.

Shipping: Blue Ice

Stability and Storage:

Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20 degrees Celsius for 1 year. Upon reconstitution, store at 2 degrees Celsius to 8 degrees Celsius for up to 1 week. Further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein or stabilizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA, 10%FBS, 5%HSA or 5% trehalose solution), protein aliquots should be stored at -20 degrees Celsius or -80 degrees Celsius for 3-6 months.

Category: Cytokines
