Specifications

Product Data
Species	Mouse
Expression Host	E. coli
Expression cDNA Clone or AA Sequence	Protein Sequence (showhide) MKKNKNCRRHSLYVDFSDVGWNDWIVAPPGYQAFYCHGDCPFPLADHLNSTNHAIVQTLVNSVNSSIPKACCVPTELSAISMLYLDEYDKVVLKNYQEMVVEGCGCRwith polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.
Tag	His Tag (C-term)
Predicted MW	The protein has a calculated MW of 12.88 kDa. The protein migrates as 11-17 kDa under reducing condition (SDS-PAGE analysis).
Purity	>98% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Buffer	The protein was lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered solution containing 20 mM sodium carbonate, pH 4.5.
Applications	Cell culture
Storage	Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C for 1 year. Upon reconstitution, store at 2°C to 8°C 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°C or -80°C for 3-6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Bioactivity	Measure by its ability to induce alkaline phosphatase production by ATDC5 cells. The ED₅₀ for this effect is <10 ng/mL. The specific activity of recombinant mouse BMP-4 is > 1 x 10⁵ IU/mg.
Endotoxin	<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Reference Data
UniProt ID	P21275
Synonyms	BMP-2B, DVR4
Summary	Bone Morphogenetic Protein-4 (BMP-4) predicts a molecular mass of 13 kDa, is a vital regulatory molecule that functions throughout human development in mesoderm induction, tooth development, limb formation, bone induction, and fracture repair and is overexpressed in patients who have fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva. BMP-4 is a critical signaling molecule required for the early differentiation of the embryo and establishing of a dorsal-ventral axis. BMP-4 is secreted from the dorsal portion of the notochord, and it acts in concert with sonic hedgehog to establish a dorsal-ventral axis for the differentiation of later structures.
