Scientific Background
Bone Morphogenetic Protein-3B (BMP-3B) , also known as Growth/Differentiation Factor 10 (GDF-10), is a cytokine belonging to the Transforming Growth Factor β (TGF-β) superfamily. BMP-3B contains the cystine knot motif shared by other TGF-β family members. BMP-3B was originally identified by PCR based on the BMP-3 sequence, and shares 83% identity with BMP-3. BMP-3B and BMP-2 act as mutual antagonists, as they compete for the availability of signaling protein Smad4. In vivo, BMP-3B is highly expressed in brain, lungs, and bone tissues. The functions of BMP-3B include acting as a dorsaling factor in head development, inhibition of adipogenesis in adipocytes, and induction of bone formation.

Safety & Handling
This material is offered by USA Bioworld biotech for research, laboratory or further evaluation purposes. For research use only.
This protein was produced in E. coli expression system. Expression system selection determines glycosylation profile, folding, and post-translational modifications. For cell-based stimulation assays, verify the expression system matches the glycosylation requirements of your target receptor or pathway.
Reconstituted in 4mM HCl at 100 μg/mL. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or PBS at 100 µg/mL as a standard starting concentration. Allow to dissolve at 4°C for 30 minutes without vortexing. Prepare working aliquots in 0.1% BSA carrier protein and store at −80°C.
Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for lot-specific bioactivity data. Optimal working concentrations may vary depending on your cell type, assay format, and culture conditions. Titrate the protein in a dose-response experiment to determine the optimal concentration for your system.
Endotoxin level is < 0.2 EU/μg, determined by LAL method. as determined by the LAL method. Low endotoxin is critical for cell-based studies because endotoxin activates NF-κB and TLR4 signalling in immune cells, producing artefactual cytokine induction that can completely mask the true biological activity of the recombinant protein.
Lyophilized recombinant human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-3B (rhBMP-3B) remains stable up to 6 months at -80°C from date of receipt. Upon reconstitution, rhBMP-3B remains stable up to 2 weeks at 4°C or Upon receipt, immediately store at −80°C. Prepare single-use working aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Lyophilized protein is stable for 6–12 months at −80°C from the date of receipt.
