R&D Systems™ Human BMP-5 (NP_066551) VersaClone cDNA
Description
- BMP5 bone morphogenetic protein 5 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
- The BMP-5 insert is sequence verified and the entire plasmid DNA and insert translated sequences are provided.
- BMPs are secreted signaling molecules that comprise a subfamily of the TGF-beta superfamily and were originally identified as regulators of cartilage and bone formation.
- There are at least 20 structurally and functionally related BMPs, most of which play roles in embryogenesis and morphogenesis of various tissues and organs.
- Biologically active BMPs are usually homodimers containing a characteristic cysteine knot structure.
- Heterodimers, BMP-2/BMP-7 and BMP-4/BMP-7 have also been suggested to exist and function in vivo. They are more potent inducers of bone formation than their respective homodimers.
- In addition, heterodimers, but not homodimers, are ventral mesoderm inducers.
- Heterodimer activity may be mediated by a different or additional receptor subtype.
- Decapentaplegic (Dpp) is one of at least five TGF-beta superfamily ligands identified in the Drosophila genome.
- Dpp, a functional ortholog of mammalian BMP-2 and BMP-4, is a morphogen and plays an essential role in Drosophila development. Dpp regulates embryonic dorsal-ventral polarity and is required for gut morphogenesis and outgrowth and patterning of imaginal disks.
- For reasearch use only. Not for use in humans.
