Predicted Molecular Weight
The 106 amino acid recombinant protein has a predicted molecular mass of approximately 12 kD. Recombinant BMP-4 is a disulphide bond linked homodimer. The predicted N-terminal amino acid is Lys.
Purification
Greater than 97% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
Usage Summary
Reconstitute 10 mM citric acid to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex. It is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein such as 0.1% BSA.
Bio-Activity
BMP-4 induces alkaline phosphatase production by ATDC-5 cells. The expected ED50 for this effect is 5 - 15 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 0.67 - 2.0 x 10^5 units/mg.
Endotoxin
Less than 0.1 ng/µg of protein.
Storage
Store unopened at -20°C to -70°C. Store diluted at -20°C to -80°C. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles. For maximum results, quick spin vial prior to opening.
Restrictions
For research use only. Intended for use by laboratory professionals.
