BMP-8b
BMP-8 is a pleiotropic ligand protein act as a reproductive system regulator. BMP-8 is encoded by a pair of genes, BMP8A and BMP8B, belonging to TNF-β family. GMP-8 initiates the canonical BMP signaling cascade by associating with type I receptor BMPR1A and type II receptor BMPR2. Both BMP8A and BMP8B are enriched in the ovary and activate canonical BMP signaling in different cells, including spermatogonia, P19 and 293T cells[1]. BMP-8 is widely found in different animals, while the sequences of BMP-8A and BMP-8B in human are highly different from Mouse with similarities of 85.96% and 74.44%, respectively. As for BMP8B, which protein is secreted by brown/beige adipocytes and enhances energy dissipation, serves as an interconnected regulator of neuro-vascular remodeling in AT and is potential targets in obesity[2]. BMP8B increases brown adipose tissue thermogenesis through both central and peripheral actions[3]. Thus BMP8B contributes to adrenergic-induced remodeling of the neuro-vascular network in adipose tissue, therefore through the adipocytes to 1) secrete neuregulin-4 (NRG4), which promotes sympathetic axon growth and branching in vitro, and 2) induce a pro-angiogenic transcriptional and secretory profile that promotes vascular sprouting[2]. BMP8B also involve in activation of caspase-3 and -9, and apoptosis to inhibit pancreatic cancer cell growth[4].

The EpCAM/TROP1 protein serves as an important homogeneous interacting molecule that promotes direct contact between intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) and intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) in the mucosal epithelium. This feature helps establish an immune barrier against mucosal infections. EpCAM/TROP1 Protein, Human (His-SUMO) is the recombinant human-derived EpCAM/TROP1 protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His, N-SUMO labeled tag.
