Recombinant Human GDF-5 / BMP-14
Induced alkaline phosphates activity in ATDC5 cells (with 2 μg/ml heparin) for Human GDF-5. Alkaline phosphatase activity was measured to calculate the ED50, which is as expected less than 1 μg/ml.
Non-reducing (-) and reducing (+) conditions in a 4 - 20% Tris-Glycine gel stained with Coomassie Blue. 1 μg of protein was loaded in each lane. Human GDF-5 has a predicted Mw of 27.4 kDa (each monomer is 13.7 kDa).

Growth Differentiation Factor 5 (GDF-5), also known as BMP-14, is a member of the Bone Morphogenic Protein (BMP) and Transforming Growth Factor β (TGF-β) families and functions to regulate cell proliferation and differentiation in embryonic and adult tissues. GDF-5 is expressed in the central nervous system and promotes the survival of dopaminergic neurons in animal models of Parkinson's disease. GDF-5 is also important during chondrogenesis and chondrocyte differentiation.Activity Assay
Human GDF-5 is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The activity is determined by the ability to induce alkaline phosphatase activity in ATDC5 cells and it is typically between 0.1 - 1 μg/ml. This corresponds to an expected specific activity of 1 x 104 units/mg.AA Sequence
