Description of Human BMP-13 / CDMP-2 / GDF-6

BMP13 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a non-glycosylated disulfide linked homodimer containing 2 chains of 120 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 27.1kDa.The BMP-13 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Biological Activity

The ED₅₀ as determined by inducing alkaline phosphatase production of murine ATDC5 cells is less than 2.0µg/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 500IU/mg.

Reconstitution

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized BMP13 in sterile 18M-cm H₂O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Stability

Lyophilized BMP13 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution BMP-13 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
