Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human BMP-2, identical to the related mouse and rat sequences.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 20 kDa, 40 kDa; calculated MW: 44702 MW
- Reactivity: Human,Rat
- Applications: ELISA, IHC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Bone morphogenetic protein 2; Bone morphogenetic protein 2. BMP2 is also known as Bone morphogenetic protein 2 or BMP2A. It is mapped to 20p12. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGFB) superfamily.?BMP-2, like other?bone morphogenetic proteins,?plays an important role in the development of bone and cartilage. It is involved in the?hedgehog pathway,?TGF beta signaling pathway, and in?cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction. Also, it is involved in cardiac cell differentiation and?epithelial to mesenchymal transition. In addition, BMP2A has been suggested as a reasonable candidate for the human condition fibrodysplasia (myositis) ossificans progressiva, on the basis of observations in a Drosophila model. Functional note: Induces cartilage and bone formation (PubMed:3201241). Stimulates the differentiation of myoblasts into osteoblasts via the EIF2AK3-EIF2A- ATF4 pathway. BMP2 activation of EIF2AK3 stimulates phosphorylation of EIF2A which leads to increased expression of ATF4 which plays a central role in osteoblast differentiation. In addition stimulates TMEM119, which upregulates the expression of ATF4 (PubMed:24362451). . Reported localization: Secreted. Expression/tissue context: Particularly abundant in lung, spleen and colon and in low but significant levels in heart, brain, placenta, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, prostate, ovary and small intestine.

Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative BMP2 (Bone morphogenetic protein 2) levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
- IHC/IHC-F: assess spatial distribution of BMP2 (Bone morphogenetic protein 2) across tissue regions and cell types using matched controls.
- ELISA-compatible use: when applicable, interpret signal as relative abundance across sample sets with consistent handling and dilution strategy.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
