Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects bone morphogenetic protein 5 (gene BMP5) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for ELISA, flow cytometry, IHC and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 51.7 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 51 kDa.
Bone morphogenetic protein 5 (BMP5) is a TGF-β superfamily growth factor closely related to BMP6 and BMP7. It signals through BMP receptors and SMAD1/5/8 and contributes to skeletal and cartilage development; the mouse short ear mutation is caused by loss of Bmp5.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL (Human, Mouse, Rat) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 0.5–1 µg/mL (Human, Mouse, Rat) |
| Flow cytometry (fixed cells) | 1–3 µg/1×106 cells (Human) |
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): rat liver tissue, mouse liver tissue, A549 cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): mouse liver tissue, rat lung tissue, human lung cancer tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): U2OS cells.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the C-terminal region of human BMP-5. It differs from the mouse sequence at three residues.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt describes bone morphogenetic protein 5 as a secreted protein. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed in the lung and liver. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
