Description
Product Characteristics: Bmp10 is required for maintaining the proliferative activity of embryonic cardiomyocytes by preventing premature activation of the negative cell cycle regulator CDKN1C/p57KIP and maintaining the required expression levels of cardiogenic factors such as MEF2C and NKX2-5. Bmp10 acts as a ligand for ACVRL1/ALK1, BMPR1A/ALK3 and BMPR1B/ALK6, leading to activation of SMAD1, SMAD5 and SMAD8 transcription factors. Bmp10 inhibits endothelial cell migration and growth. Synonyms: Polyclonal Bmp10 antibody, Anti-Bmp10 antibody, bone morphogenetic protein 10 antibody, Bmp10 antibody.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TGF-beta family of growth factors. Data suggest that the similar protein in mouse plays an important role in trabeculation of the embryonic heart. In human, this protein may signal through receptor serine/threonine kinases.
