Anti-BMP2

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. BMP2 is also known as Bone morphogenetic protein 2 or BMP2A. It is mapped to 20p12. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGFB) superfamily.BMP-2, like otherbone morphogenetic proteins,plays an important role in the development of bone and cartilage. It is involved in thehedgehog pathway,TGF beta signaling pathway, and incytokine-cytokine receptor interaction. Also, it is involved in cardiac cell differentiation andepithelial to mesenchymal transition. In addition, BMP2A has been suggested as a reasonable candidate for the human condition fibrodysplasia (myositis) ossificans progressiva, on the basis of observations in a Drosophila model. Protein function: Induces cartilage and bone formation (PubMed:3201241). Stimulates the differentiation of myoblasts into osteoblasts via the EIF2AK3-EIF2A- ATF4 pathway. BMP2 activation of EIF2AK3 stimulates phosphorylation of EIF2A which leads to increased expression of ATF4 which plays a central role in osteoblast differentiation. In addition stimulates TMEM119, which upregulates the expression of ATF4 (PubMed:24362451). [The UniProt Consortium]
