anti-BMP-3 Antibody

BMP-3

BMP3, BMP-3, BMP 3, bone morphogenetic protein 3, Osteogenin; BMP-3A, BMP3A, BMP 3A

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 vivo studies have shown that BMP-3 can independently induce cartilage formation.

Affinity purified

Western blot

Western blotting (0.5-4 µg/ml). It detects the ~55 kDa full length and the ~16 kDa cleaved fragment of BMP-3. Blocking peptide (Cat.# 5673RBP-50) is available separately.

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.
