| Description: | Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP-4) is a polymorphic ligand protein belonging to the TGF-? family, which is involved in the circulation of the vascular system and can activate receptors on vascular cells[1]. BMP-4 binds to type I receptors (ALK-2/-3/-6) and type II receptors (BMPR2, ACVR2A)[2] to increase plaque formation and promote oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, and osteogenic differentiation through its pro-inflammatory and pro-atherogenic effects[3]. Animal-Free BMP-4 Protein, Pig (His) has a total length of 182 amino acids (R43-C224), is expressed in E. coli cells with C-terminal His-tag. |
