Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) is a key member of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily that plays essential roles in bone and cartilage development. This signaling molecule regulates osteoblast differentiation, bone formation, and skeletal morphogenesis during embryonic development and adult tissue repair. BMP2 works by binding to specific serine/threonine kinase receptors, activating downstream Smad signaling pathways that control the expression of genes involved in bone matrix formation and mineralization.
The Human Bone morphogenetic protein 2, BMP-2 ELISA Kit (CSB-E04507h) is a quantitative sandwich immunoassay designed for measuring BMP2 levels in human samples. This kit works with serum, urine, cell culture supernates, and tissue homogenates with a detection range of 62.5 pg/mL to 4000 pg/mL and sensitivity of 15.6 pg/mL. The assay requires 50-100 μL sample volume, operates with detection at 450 nm wavelength, and can be completed within 1-5 hours.
