Overview

Synonyms	BMP-2, BMP2A, Bone morphogenetic protein 2, BMP-2A, BMP2
Description	Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP-2) is a bone-growth regulatory factor and belongs to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily. Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP-2) is synthesized as large precursor molecule (Met¹-Arg³⁹⁶, with a signal peptide from Met¹ to Gly²³), propeptide (Leu²⁴-Arg²⁸²) of which is cleaved by PCSK5 (Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin type 5). The active form consists of a dimer of two identical proteins which are linked by a disulfide bond at Cys³⁶⁰. It plays an important role in the development of bone and cartilage, cardiac cell differentiation and epithelial to mesenchymal transition. It is also involved in the hedgehog pathway, TGF-beta signaling pathway, and in cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction. Recombinant human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (rhBMP-2) produced in E. coli is a disulfide-linked homodimer containing two non-glycosylated polypeptide chains of 115 amino acids. A fully biologically active molecule, rhBMP-2 has a molecular mass of 26 kDa analyzed by non-reducing SDS-PAGE and is obtained by proprietary refolding and chromatographic techniques at GenScript.
