Introduction
Bone Morphogenetic protein-8b (BMP8B) belongs to a family of secreted signaling molecules which can induce ectopic bone growth. BMP8B is known for having a possible bone inductive activity as it is related to BMP5 and BMP7. BMP8B is the osteoinductive factor accountable for epithelial osteogenesis.
Description
BMP8B Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 162 amino acids (264-402a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 18.1kDa.
BMP8B is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
