Bone Morphogenetic Protein 3b, Recombinant, Human (BMP3b, Growth Differentiation Factor 10, GDF10)

GDF10 (Growth differentiation factor 10) is a member of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family and the TGF-beta superfamily. It is expressed in femur, brain, lung, skeletal, muscle, pancreas and testis, and it plays a role in head formation and may have multiple roles in skeletal morphogenesis. This group of proteins is characterized by a polybasic proteolytic processing site which is cleaved to produce a mature protein containing seven conserved cysteine residues. The members of this family are regulators of cell growth and differentiation in both embryonic and adult tissues. Source: Recombinant GDF10 protein was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
