BMP-7 (osteogenic protein 1) belongs to the Bone-growth regulatory factors that are members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily of proteins. They are synthesized as large precursor molecules which are cleaved by proteolytic enzymes. The active form can consist of a dimer of two identical proteins or a heterodimer of two related bone morphogenetic proteins. N-TERMINAL---Human BMP-2 (Met 1 Arg 282) Human BMP-7 (Ser 293 Arg 431)---C-TERMINAL. The DNA sequence encoding the human BMP-2 signal peptide and propeptide (1~282 amino acid) fused to the human BMP-7 mature chain (293~431 amino acid) was expressed in a Chinese hamster ovary cell line. The mature recombinant BMP-7 generated by the proteolytic removal of the signal peptide and propetide contains 139 amino acid residues. The glycosylation of BMP-7 increases the molecular mass and the glycosylated proteins migrate as 25 ~ 40 kDa in SDS-PAGE under non-reducing conditions.
