Molecular Weight	13.3 KDa
Apparent Molecular Weight	13 KDa, reducing conditions
Form	Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 10mM HAc-NH<sub>4</sub>Ac, 4% D-Mannitol, pH 4.0.
Purity	Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Endotoxin Level	Less than 0.001 ng/µg (0.01 EU/µg) as determined by LAL test.

Reconstitution	Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in 50mM Acetic Acid. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage	Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
Shipping Condition	The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature listed below.

Background	Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP-2) is one of the bone-growth regulatory factors that belong to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily of proteins. BMPs are synthesized as large precursor molecules, which are cleaved by proteolytic enzymes. The active form of BMP-2 can consist of a dimer of two identical proteins or a heterodimer of two related bone morphogenetic proteins.
