Recombinant human BMP-7 (monomer) protein
Bone morphogenic protein-7 (BMP-7/OP-1) is a member of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily. Like other members of the BMPs family, it plays a role in calcium regulation and bone homeostasis. BMPs have been also shown to regulate the growth, differentiation, chemotaxis and apoptosis of various cell types, including mesenchymal cells, epithelial cells, hematopoietic cells and neuronal cells. BMP7 also has the potential for treatment of chronic kidney disease. Recombinant human BMP-7 protein was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques, after refolding of the isolated inclusion body in renaturation buffer.
