Recombinant human BMP-14/GDF-5 protein
Growth differentiation factor 5 (GDF-5) is a member of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family and the TGF-beta superfamily. This protein plays a role in chondrogenesis and chondrocyte metabolism, tendon and ligament tissue formation, and bone repair. It also increases the survival of neurones that respond to a neurotransmitter called dopamine, and is a potential therapeutic molecule associated with Parkinson's disease. GDF-5, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed as insoluble protein aggregate in E. coli and purified by conventional chromatography, after refolding of the isolated inclusion bodies in a renaturation buffer.
