BMP-5, Human (HEK293, hFc)

Bone morphogenetic protein 5 (BMP-5) is a pleiotropic ligand protein belonging to the TGFβ family, which is mainly expressed in the lung and liver. After BMP-5 silencing, the activity of p38/ERK signaling pathway can be down-regulated to inhibit chondrocyte senescence and apoptosis and knee arthritis (OA)[1]. Bmp-5 initiates typical BMP signaling cascades by binding to type I receptor BMPR1A and type II receptor BMPR2[2], or triggers signals through atypical pathways such as MAPK p38 signaling cascades to promote chondrogenic differentiation[3]. The total length of human BMP-5 protein is 454 amino acids (M1-H454), with 4 glycosylation domains. BMP-5 Protein, Human (HEK293, hFc) has a total length of 131 amino acids (Q324-H454), is expressed in HEK293 cells with a N-terminal hFc-tag.
