BMP8B（bone morphogenetic protein 8b） encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. The encoded protein stimulates thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue. Expression of BMP8B may be downregulated in pancreatic cancer. BMP8B may have arose from a gene duplication event and its gene duplicate is also present on chromosome 1.蛋白别名为：BMP8B; BMP8; Bone morphogenetic protein 8B; BMP-8; BMP-8B; Osteogenic protein 2; OP-2; BMP8A; Bone morphogenetic protein 8A; BMP-8A;基因ID为：656；蛋白质ID:P34820/Q7Z5Y6
应用类型
IHC-p，ELISA补充：最优的抗体稀释比例需要基于客户实验进行优化.建议的起始稀释比例如下: IHC-p: 1:100-1:300, ELISA: 1:40000. Not yet tested in other applications.
