Background:

Members of the transforming growth factor b superfamily bind to a pair of transmembrane proteins, known as receptor types I and II, which contain serine/threonine kinases and associate to form a signaling complex (1). Two type I receptors have been characterized, BMPR-IA (also designated SKR5, ALK-3, and BRK-1) and BMPR-IB (also designated ALK-6 and SKR 6), that bind to bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP)-2, BMP-4, and osteogenic protein (OP)-1 (also designated BMP-7) (1-4). BMPR-IA and BMPR-IB are both expressed in human glioma cell lines (3). The type II receptor, BMPR-II, efficiently binds to OP-1 and BMP-2 and weakly binds BMP-4, and it is widely expressed in different tissues, including brain (1,5,6). The BMP receptor family members are thought to mediate distinct effects on gene expression, cell differentiation, and morphogenesis in a dose dependent fashion (1,5).

Specificity:

BMPR1A polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of BMPR1A protein.
