BMP-8a protein(N-His)(active) (recombinant human)

Activity: Measure by its ability to induce alkaline phosphatase production by ATDC5 cells. The ED50 for this effect is 10-19.4 ng/mL.

Fusion tag: N-His Endotoxin: <0.1 EU per 1 µg of the protein by the LAL method. Protein function: Protein function: Induces cartilage and bone formation. May be the osteoinductive factor responsible for the phenomenon of epithelial osteogenesis. Plays a role in calcium regulation and bone homeostasis. Signaling protein involved in regulation of thermogenesis and energy balance. Proposed to increase the peripheral response of brown adipose tissue (BAT) to adrenergic stimulation while acting centrally in the hypothalamus to increase sympathetic output to BAT.
