Host:: Rabbit
Immunogen:: Synthetic peptide corresponding to human BMP-2 at C-terminal.
Format:: Supplied as a liquid in PBS, 0.5% BSA, 0.02% sodium azide, 50% glycerol.
Extra Details:: BMP2 (bone morphogenetic protein 2) encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer, which plays a role in bone and cartilage development. Duplication of a regulatory region downstream of BMP2 causes a form of brachydactyly characterized by a malformed index finger and second toe in human patients. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry, and ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1:500-1:2000 Immunofluorescence: 1:50-1:200 Immunohistochemistry (paraffin): 1:100-1:300 ELISA: 1:10,000 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
