Human Noggin protein, His tag (Animal-Free)

Primary Product Type: Cytokines and proteins

Noggin is a 46.2 kDa bioactive protein, which exists as a disulfide-linked homodimer (each chain 23.1 kDa). Noggin binds members of the transforming Growth Factors-beta (TGF beta) superfamily signaling proteins, such as bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4), which inactivates their activities. As a extracellular antagonist of BMP proteins, Noggin involves in the development of many body tissues, including nerve tissue, muscles, and bones. In addition, Noggin is able to inhibit chondrocyte differentiation through its interaction with GDF5.
