Cat. No.: HY-P72854
COA Handling Instructions

Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) is a pleiotropic ligand protein belonging to TGFβ family, and is involved in key embryonic development of vascular and valvular homeostasis. BMP-2 binds to type I receptors (ALK-2/-3/-6) and type II receptors (BMPR2, ACVR2A) to regulate various types of calcification, including atherosclerosis, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and valve calcification. BMP-2 is overexpressed by myofibroblast and preosteoblast in the calcified area of human calcified valve, which are densely infiltrated by B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes. BMP-2 is the junction between atherosclerotic vascular calcification and normal bone formation mechanism. Zebrafish BMP-2 Protein has a length of 386 a.a., BMP-2 Protein, Zebrafish is 105 a.a. (Q272-R386), expressed in E. coli cells with tag free.

Description

Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) is a pleiotropic ligand protein belonging to TGFβ family, and is involved in key embryonic development of vascular and valvular homeostasis. BMP-2 binds to type I receptors (ALK-2/-3/-6) and type II receptors (BMPR2, ACVR2A) to regulate various types of calcification, including atherosclerosis, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and valve calcification[1]. BMP-2 is overexpressed by myofibroblast and preosteoblast in the calcified area of human calcified valve, which are densely infiltrated by B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes[5]. BMP-2 is the junction between atherosclerotic vascular calcification and normal bone formation mechanism[6]. Zebrafish BMP-2 Protein has a length of 386 a.a., BMP-2 Protein, Zebrafish is 105 a.a. (Q272-R386), expressed in E. coli cells with tag free.

Background

Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 (BMP-2) is a ligand protein with pleiotropic, belongs to TGFβ family. BMP-2 formats BMP/TGFβ signaling to involve in vascular and valvular homeostasis, which is a critical process of embryonic development[1].
BMP-2/TGFβ signaling can be terminated by inhibitory SMADs including SMAD6 and SMAD7, which are activated and induced by BMP signaling and switch off BMP signaling via multiple mechanisms[2].
BMP-2 is widely found in different animals, while the sequence in human is similar to rat (91.86%), and mouse (92.13%).
BMPs exhibits critical contributions to the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis, pulmonary vascular disease, and vascular and valvular calcification[1].
BMP-2 binds different receptor, such as type I receptors (ALK-2/-3/-6) and type II receptors (BMPR2, ACVR2A), to regulate various calcification type including Atherosclerosis, Chronic Kidney Disease, Diabetes, Valvular Calcification[1].
BMP-2 promotes monocyte infiltration and inflammation of atherosclerotic legions[3].
It is linked to increased plaque formation via pro-inflammatory and pro-atherogenic effects, promoting oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction and osteogenic differentiation[4].
BMP-2 is overexpressed in ossified regions of human calcified valves by myofibroblasts and pre-osteoblasts in areas densely infiltrated with B- and T-lymphocytes[5].
And it serves as the linkers between atherosclerotic vascular calcification with mechanisms of normal bone formation[6].
BMP-2 induces angiogenesis, endothelial cells (ECs) proliferation, and migration[7].
And BMP-2 also enhances the expression of the osteoblast and chondrocyte master transcriptional regulator RUNX2 to promote the mineralization of cultured human coronary vascular SMCs in a manner that was dependent on oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress[8].

Biological Activity

Measured by its ability to induce alkaline phosphatase production by ATDC5 mouse chondrogenic cells and the ED50 is typically 0.5-3 μg/mL.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.

  • Specific Activity Calculator

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
× = ×

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
