BMP-2 human

BMP2 (bone morphogenetic protein 2) belongs to the transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) superfamily. BMP-2 is expressed in a variety of tissues such as lung, spleen, brain, liver, prostate ovary, and small intestine. BioVision′s BMP-2 is produced in a serum-free, chemically defined media. Production in human 293 cells offers authentic glycosylation, contributing to stability in cell growth media and other applications.BMP2 is a candidate gene for the autosomal dominant disease of fibrodysplasia (myositis) ossificans progressiva.

BMP-2 human has been used to study the biological role of it on adult renal progenitor cells under in vitro and in vivo conditions.

BMPs (bone morphogenetic proteins) promote and regulate bone development, growth, remodeling and repair, in both prenatal development and postnatal growth of eye, heart, kidney, skin, and other tissues. During bone repair, BMP-2 controls the expression of Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and Osterix (Osx), thereby enhancing migration, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. In addition to its osteogenic activity, BMP-2 also plays an important role in cardiac morphogenesis.
