Reconstitution Reconstitute the lyophilized recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 (rHuBMP-4) to 0.1-1.0 mg/mL using sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA. Storage & Stability Lyophilized recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 (rHuBMP-4) is stored at -20°C. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer. It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage. Shipping Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere. Background Bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) is a member of the BMP-family, a group of growth factors, initially discovered for their ability to initiate bone formation when transplanted to ectopic sites. Bone morphogenetic protein-4 is part of the transforming growth factor (TGF-β) superfamily and is widely expressed from early embryogenesis through adulthood. Bone morphogenetic protein-4 also plays a key role in mesenchyme formation and the development of multiple organs. In addition, BMP-4 also functions as a differentiation factor to hematopoietic and nerve cells and promotes epidermal commitment. Mature BMP-4 is a homodimeric glycoprotein with a cystine knot[1]. |
