ELISA: In a sandwich ELISA (assuming 100μL/well), a concentration of 4.0-8.0 μg/mL of thisantibody will detect at least 2000 pg/mL of recombinant Human BMP-4 when used inconjunction with compatible secondary reagents. Western Blot: To detect Human BMP-4 by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be usedat a concentration of 0.25-0.50 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondaryreagents the detection limit for recombinant Human BMP-4 is 2.0-4.0 ng/lane, undernon-reducing conditions. Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity ofhBMP-4 (5.0 ng/mL), a concentration of 0.4-0.6 μg/mL of this antibody is required. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Background
BMPs (bone morphogenetic proteins) belong to the TGF beta superfamily of structurally related signaling proteins. Members of this superfamily are widely represented throughout the animal kingdom and have been implicated in a variety of developmental processes. Proteins of the TGF beta superfamily are disulfide linked dimers composed of two 12-15 kDa polypeptide chains. As implied by their name, BMPs initiate, promote and regulate bone development, growth, remodeling and repair. Smad1 translocation to the nucleus is observed after the addition of BMP4 (also designated BMP2B), suggesting that BMP4 may play a role in activation of the Smad pathway. BMP is secreted into the extracellular matrix.Synonyms: BMP-2B, BMP-4, BMP2B, Bone morphogenetic protein 4, DVR4
