BMP-4 is a key member of the TGF-β superfamily and plays critical roles in embryonic development, cell differentiation, tissue homeostasis, and disease. Initially identified for its ability to induce bone and cartilage formation, BMP-4 is now known to regulate the development and function of multiple organ systems.

BMP-4 signals by binding to type I and type II serine/threonine kinase receptors (BMPR-I/II) on the cell surface, activating downstream SMAD-dependent and -independent pathways. During embryogenesis, it drives the differentiation of mesoderm-derived tissues, including hematopoietic and renal lineages. BMP-4 also promotes osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, supports bone repair, maintains hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal, and inhibits preadipocyte differentiation.

This recombinant human BMP-4 is expressed in E. coli, supplied in liquid format, and characterized by high purity, high bioactivity, and low endotoxin levels—making it ideal for research applications in stem cell biology, developmental studies, and regenerative medicine.
