Recombinant human BMP12/GDF-7 induces alkaline phosphatase production in the ATDC5 condrogenic cell line in a dose-dependent manner. The ED50 for this effect is 0.1 – 0.5 µg/mL. -
Stability Testing for Recombinant Human BMP12/GDF-7. Recombinant human BMP12/GCF-7 was aliquoted in 40% Acetonitrile, 0.1% TFA at 0.2 mg/mL. One aliquot was frozen and thawed four times (4x Freeze/Thaw) and compared to the control that was kept at 4°C (Control). The samples were tested for their ability to induce alkaline phosphatase production in the ATDC5 condrogenic cell line in a dose-dependent manner. The ED50 for this effect is 0.1 – 0.5 µg/mL.

BMP12 is a member of the TGF-β superfamily that includes TGF-β proteins, activins/inhibins, morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), and GDFs. The TGF-β superfamily plays a key role in skeletal development, bone formation, and stem cell differentiation. BMPs signal through heterotetrameric complex receptors, which include four type I receptors (ALK-1, ALK-2, ALK-3, and ALK-6) and three type II receptors (BMPRII, ActRIIA, and ActRIIB). BMP12, BMP13, and BMP14 share 82% amino acid sequence homology and also similar function. These proteins induce neotendon/ligament formation in vivo after implanted in ectopic sites. Thus, administration of subcutaneous or intramuscular BMP12, BMP13, and BMP14 activate the tenogenic pathway in human and rat bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). BMP12 induces the proliferation of tendon fibroblasts in vitro and the expression of procollagen Type I and Type III. Also, topic administration of ASC and BMP12 promotes cell accumulation and matrix remodeling in a model of tendon repair. In addition, this combined adminstration induces an M2 macrophage phenotype that enriches tendon healing.

-
BioLegend carrier-free recombinant proteins provided in liquid format are shipped on blue ice. Our comparison testing data indicates that when handled and stored as recommended, the liquid format has equal or better stability and shelf-life compared to commercially available lyophilized proteins after reconstitution. Our liquid proteins are verified in-house to maintain activity after shipping on blue ice and are backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you have any concerns, contact us at [email protected].

• Learn more about our Recombinant Proteins. - How does the activity of your recombinant proteins compare to competitors?
-
We quality control each and every lot of recombinant protein. Not only do we check its bioactivity, but we also compare it against other commercially available recombinant proteins. We make sure each recombinant protein’s activity is at least as good as or better than the competition’s. In order to provide you with the best possible product, we ensure that our testing process is rigorous and thorough. If you’re curious and eager to make the switch to BioLegend recombinants, contact your sales representative today!
- What is the specific activity or ED50 of my recombinant protein?
-
The specific activity range of the protein is indicated on the product datasheets. Because the exact activity values on a per unit basis can largely fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including the nature of the assay, cell density, age of cells/passage number, culture media used, and end user technique, the specific activity is best defined as a range and we guarantee the specific activity of all our lots will be within the range indicated on the datasheet. Please note this only applies to recombinants labeled for use in bioassays. ELISA standard recombinant proteins are not recommended for bioassay usage as they are not tested for these applications.
- Have your recombinants been tested for stability?
-
Our testing shows that the recombinant proteins are able to withstand room temperature for a week without losing activity. In addition the recombinant proteins were also found to withstand four cycles of freeze and thaw without losing activity.
- Does specific activity of a recombinant protein vary between lots?
-
Specific activity will vary for each lot and for the type of experiment that is done to validate it, but all passed lots will have activity within the established ED50 range for the product and we guarantee that our products will have lot-to-lot consistency. Please conduct an experiment-specific validation to find the optimal ED50 for your system.
- How do you convert activity as an ED50 in ng/ml to a specific activity in Units/mg?
-
Use formula Specific activity (Units/mg) = 10^6/ ED50 (ng/mL)
