Mature BMP-4 is a dimer that binds to a multimeric transmembrane receptor with serine\/threonine kinase activity. Mechanism study shows that autophagy induced by BMP-4 is mediated by activating JNK1\/Bcl2 pathway. JNK1 inhibitor and JNK1 knockout can weaken BMP-4-induced autophagy and eliminate BMP-4-promoted HCC cell growth. BMP-4 promotes the proliferation of HCC through autophagy activation of JNK1\/Bcl-2 signaling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEndotoxin: \u0026lt; 0.1 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBiological significance and function\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBMP-4\u003c\/strong\u003e is used in RUO research to interrogate molecular mechanisms, interaction networks, and pathway-linked phenotypes in experimental systems.
