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 up to 3 months at -20 °C.
Bone Morphogenetic Protein-3B (BMP-3B) , also known as Growth/Differentiation Factor 10 (GDF-10), is a cytokine belonging to the Transforming Growth Factor beta (TGF-beta) superfamily. BMP-3B contains the cystine knot motif shared by other TGF-beta 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. BMP-3B is down-regulated in lung cancer patient samples, indicating its potential antitumor activity. Recombinant human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-3B (rhBMP-3B) produced in E. coli is a disulfide-linked homodimer containing two non-glycosylated polypeptide chains of 111 amino acids each. rhBMP-3B has a molecular mass of 25.1 kDa analyzed by non-reducing SDS-PAGE.
