anti-BMP-2 Antibody

BMP-2

BMP2, BMP-2, BMP 2, bone morphogenetic protein 2, BMP-2A, BMP2A , BMP 2A

BMPs (bone morphogenetic proteins) belong to the TGF-beta superfamily of structurally related signaling proteins. Members of this superfamily are widely represented throμghout the animal kingdom and have been implicated in a variety of developmental processes. Proteins of the TGF-beta superfamily are disulfide-linked dimmers composed of two 12-15 kDa polypeptide chains. As implied by their name, BMPs initiate, promote and regulate bone development, growth, remodeling and repair. In addition to its osteogenic activity, BMP-2 plays an important role in cardiac morphogenesis. It is also expressed in a variety of tissues such as lung, spleen, brain, liver, prostate ovary and small intestine.

Rabbit

Polyclonal

Rabbit IgG

Human

Recombinant human BMP-2

0.5 mg/ml

Liquid

30 µg (0.5 mg/ml) affinity purified rabbit anti-BMP-2 polyclonal antibody in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.2, containing 30% glycerol, 0.5% BSA, 0.01% thimerosal.

Affinity purified

Western blot

Western blotting (0.5-2 µg/ml). It detects the 14 kDa monomer, 28 kDa dimer, as well as the 58 kDa tetramer of human BMP-2. Recombinant human BMP-2 (Cat.# 4577-10) can be used as a positive control. Reactivity to other species has not been tested.

Shelf time: 12 months in temp.: -20 deg.C

gel pack

The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

If you buy Antibodies supplied by Biovision they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.
