Active Recombinant Human BMP7, Animal Free

• Cat.No.: BMP7-135H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human BMP-7 is a protein composed of 16.5 kDa single chain, containing 144 amino residues. Human recombinant protein expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana. Recombinant human BMP-7 contains a 6-His-tag at the N-terminal end, is produced by transient expression in non-transgenic plants and is purified by sequential chromatography (FPLC). This product contains no animal–derived components or impurities. Animal free product.

Specification

• Description: The bone morphogenetic proteins are a family of secreted signalling molecules that can induce ectopic bone growth. BMPs were originally identified by an ability of demineralized bone extract to induce endochondral osteogenesis in vivo in an extraskeletal site. Bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7), also known as osteogenic protein 1 (OP1), is a widely expressed TGFb superfamily member with important functions during embryogenesis, in the adult, and in disease (Chen et al., 2004, Kishigami and Mishina 2005). BMP-7 plays a role in a variety of organ systems. It promotes new bone formation and nephron development (Sampath et al., 1992, Kazama et al., 2008), inhibits the branching of prostate epithelium (Grishina et al., 2005), and antagonizes epithelialmesenchymal transition (Zeisberg et al., 2003, Yu et al., 2009). In pathological conditions, BMP7 inhibits tumor growth and metastasis (Buijs et al., 2007), ameliorates fibrotic damage in nephritis (Zeisberg et al., 2003), and promotes neuroregeneration following brain ischemia (Chou et al., 2006).
