Recombinant Human Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4)

Induces cartilage and bone formation. Also act in mesoderm induction, tooth development, limb formation and fracture repair. Acts in concert with PTHLH/PTHRP to stimulate ductal outgrowth during bryonic mammary development and to inhibit hair follicle induction .

If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

Mutations in BMP4 are associated with subepithelial, microform, and overt cleft lip.Suzuki S., Marazita M.L., Cooper M.E., Miwa N., Hing A., Jugessur A., Natsume N., Shimozato K., Ohbayashi N., Suzuki Y., Niimi T., Minami K., Yamamoto M., Altannamar T.J., Erkhembaatar T., Furukawa H., Daack-Hirsch S., L'heureux J. , Brandon C.A., Weinberg S.M., Neiswanger K., Deleyiannis F.W., de Salamanca J.E., Vieira A.R., Lidral A.C., Martin J.F., Murray J.C.Am.

The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
