Anti-BMP15 / Bone morphogenetic protein 15

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Bone morphogenetic protein 15 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BMP15 gene. It is mapped to Xp11.22. It's mainly involved in folliculogenesis. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the bone morphogenetic protein family which is part of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily. The transforming growth factor-beta superfamily includes large families of growth and differentiation factors. It is thought that this protein may be involved in oocyte maturation and follicular development as a homodimer or by forming heterodimers with a related protein, Gdf9. Defects in this gene are the cause of ovarian dysgenesis 2. Protein function: May be involved in follicular development. Oocyte- specific growth/differentiation factor that stimulates folliculogenesis and granulosa cell (GC) growth. [The UniProt Consortium]
