BMP-10 is a polypeptide belonging to the TGF-β superfamily of proteins. It is a novel protein that, unlike most other BMP’s, is likely to be involved in the trabeculation of the heart. BMP-10 is categorized as a BMP since it shares large sequence homology with other BMP’s in the TGF-β superfamily.

FKYEGMAVSECGCR with polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus
Source:
Escherichia coli
Endotoxin Test:
<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Activity:
Measure by its ability to induce alkaline phosphatase production by ATDC5 cells. The ED50 for this effect is 1.7-2.1 ng/mL.
Purity:
>98% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Ni-NTA chromatography
Formulation:
The protein was lyophilized from a solution containing 20 mM sodium citrate, 0.2 M NaCl, pH 3.5.
Reconstitution:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 100 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved.
Storage:
Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C. Upon reconstitution, protein aliquots should be stored at -20°C or -80°C.
Note:
Please use within one month after protein reconstitution.
