人骨形態發生蛋白-7/OP-1|Human BMP-7/OP-1

Synonyms :

OP-1

Description :

TGF-β family members are key modulators of cell proliferation, differentiation, matrix synthesis, and apoptosis. As implied by their name, BMPs initiate, promote, and regulate the development, growth and remodeling of bone and cartilage. In addition to this role, BMPs are also involved in prenatal development and postnatal growth, remodeling and maintenance of a variety of other tissues and organs. BMP-7, also known as osteogenic protein-1 or OP-1, is a potent bone inducing agent, which in the presence of appropriate osteoconductive carrier (e.g. collagen sponge or synthetic hydroxyapatite) can be used in the treatment of bone defects. A bone-graft substitute, called OP-1^TM implant, made of recombinant human BMP-7 associated with bovine bone-derived collagen, has recently been approved by the FDA as a device for treating critical-size bone fractures. The potential use of BMP-7 in dental reconstructive surgeries is currently under investigation. Recombinant human BMP-7 is a 28.8 kDa homodimeric glycoprotein consisting of two 116 amino acid subunits, which correspond to amino acid residues 316 to 431 of the full-length BMP-7 precursor.

CHO cells

Stability :

The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20⁰C. Reconstituted BMP-7 is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20⁰C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Purity :

Greater than 98% by SDS-PAGE gel and HPLC analyses.

Endotoxin Level :

Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 ng per μg (1EU/μg).

Biological Activity :

Determined by its ability to induce alkaline phosphatase production by ATDC-5 cells. The expected ED₅₀ for this effect is 0.02-0.04 μg/ml.
