Purity of recombinant human BMP-4 was determined by SDS- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The protein was resolved in an SDS- polyacrylamide gel in reducing and non-reducing conditions and stained using Coomassie blue.
Recombinant human BMP-4 (HZ-1045) stimulates dose-dependent induction of alkaline phosphatase production in the ATDC-5 mouse chondrogenic cell line. Alkaline phosphatase production was assessed using pNPP as a chromogenic substrate. ATDC-5 cells were treated with increasing concentrations of recombinant human BMP-4 for 72 hours before lysis and addition of pNPP. The EC50 was determined using a 4-parameter non-linear regression model. The EC50 values range from 1.5-9 ng/ml.
Proteintech BMP-4 (HZ-1045) demonstrates equivalent induction and 2-fold lower EC50 compared to leading competitors.

Human induced pluripotent cells(iPSCs) were differentiated to definitive endoderm using HumanKine growth factors (Activin A- HZ-1138, bFGF-HZ-1285, BMP-4- HZ-1045, and Wnt3A-HZ-1296). The differentiation was confirmed by detection of expression of FOXA2(Red) and downregulation of pluripotency marker NANOG(yellow), in immunofluorescence
