骨形态发生蛋白8b抗体

骨形态发生蛋白8b抗体 Background: Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) are members of the TGF Beta superfamily. BMPs are involved in the induction of cartilage and bone formation. In vivo studies have shown that BMP-2 (also designated BMP-2A) and BMP-3 can independently induce cartilage formation. Smad3 association with the TGF Beta receptor complex and Smad1 translocation to the nucleus are observed after the addition of BMP-4 (also designated BMP-2B), suggesting that BMP-4 may play a role in activation of the Smad pathway. BMP-5, BMP-6 and BMP-7 all share high sequence homology with BMP-2, indicating that they each may be able to induce cartilage formation. BMP-8 (also designated OP-2) is thought to be involved in early development, as detectable expression has not been found in adult organs. Also known as: BMP-8; BMP-8B; BMP8; Bmp8b; BMP8B_HUMAN; Bone morphogenetic protein 8; Bone morphogenetic protein 8B; OP-2; OP2; Osteogenic protein 2.骨形态发生蛋白8b抗体
