Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2BMP2BMP2a

Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) belong to the TGF-β (Transforming Growth Factor) superfamily of structurally related signaling proteins.BMP2 is a potent osteoinductive cytokine, capable of inducing bone and cartilage formation in association with osteoconductive carriers such as collagen and synthetic hydroxyapatite. In addition, BMP2 plays an important role in cardiac morphogenesis and is expressed in a variety of tissues; including the lung, spleen, brain, liver, prostate, ovary and small intestine.The functional form of BMP2 is a 26kDa protein composed of two identical 115 amino acid polypeptide chains linked by a single disulfide bond.

Storage/Handling: This lyophilizedpreparation is stable at 2-8°C, but should be kept at -20°C for long termstorage. The reconstituted sample can be apportioned into working aliquots andstored at -80 °C for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Reconstitution: The sample shouldbe briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitutein a siliconized tube using distilled water that contains a 0.1% BSA to aconcentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Reconstituted solutions are stable for up toone week at 2-8°C. Stock solutions should be aliquoted and stored at -80°C.Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
