BMP-15, Human (His, Myc)

Bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP-15; GDF9B), also known as growth differentiation factor 9B (GDF9B), is a polymorphic ligand protein of the TGFβ family and is only expressed in follicular cells. BMP15 is closely related to GDF9 and synergistically regulates the genetic development of follicles. BMP15 is involved in p38 MAPK and HIF-1α/SCF signaling pathway, respectively, and can up-regulate the expression of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) related stem cell factor (SCF) in granulosa cells. The total length of human BMP-15 protein is 392 amino acids (M1-R392), with 4 glycosylation domains. BMP-15 Protein, Human (His, Myc) has a total length of 125 amino acids (Q268-R392), is expressed in E. coli cells with a N-terminal His-tag, a C-terminal Myc-tag, respectively.
