Application: BMP-2 (73–92) is a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 73–92 of bone morphogenetic protein-2 and represents the knuckle epitope involved in receptor binding. BMP-2 is a member of the TGF-β superfamily and plays a critical role in bone formation, osteogenic differentiation, and tissue development. This peptide fragment has been shown to stimulate alkaline phosphatase activity in murine mesenchymal stem cells, indicating osteogenic potential. BMP-2 (73–92) is commonly used in bone biology, regenerative medicine, biomaterials research, stem cell differentiation studies, and investigations of BMP receptor signaling pathways.
