Synonyms :

Twisted Gastrulation Protein

Description :

Twisted Gastrulation Protein (TSG) is a secreted BMP binding protein structurally related to the BMP antagonists Chordin and Noggin. TSG can inhibit BMP activity by binding directly to BMP proteins, and can act either as a BMP4 agonist or antagonist (depending on the specific biochemical environment) by binding to the BMP4/Chordin complex. Recombinant human TSG is a 199 amino acid 22.2 kDa protein containing the BMP/TGFβ binding portion of the full length TSG protein.

Purity :

Greater than 98% by SDS-PAGE gel and HPLC analyses.

Endotoxin Level :

Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 ng per μg (1EU/μg).

Biological Activity :

Determined by its ability to neutralize BMP-6 induced alkaline phosphatase production by ATDC chondrogenic cells. The expected ED ₅₀ for this effect is < 2.0 μg/ml of TSG.
