Bone Morphogenetic Protein Receptor-1A (BMPR1A) is a crucial protein in the human body, playing a significant role in various biological processes. This article delves into the background, structure, function, and significance of BMPR1A, particularly focusing on its recombinant form with an IgG-His tag.
BMPR1A is a transmembrane serine/threonine kinase receptor that belongs to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) superfamily . The human recombinant form of BMPR1A, tagged with IgG-His, is produced in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. This recombinant protein is a glycosylated homodimer chain containing 2x362 amino acids, with a total molecular mass of approximately 80.8 kDa .
BMPR1A plays a pivotal role in transmitting chemical signals from the cell membrane to the nucleus. When BMPR1A binds to its ligands, it activates a group of related proteins known as SMAD proteins . These proteins then transduce signals that regulate various cellular processes, including growth, differentiation, and apoptosis .
The ligands for BMPR1A are members of the TGF-β superfamily, including Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) such as BMP2, BMP4, BMP6, and BMP7 . Upon ligand binding, BMPR1A forms a receptor complex consisting of two type II and two type I transmembrane serine/threonine kinases . This complex is essential for the activation of downstream signaling pathways, including the Akt and NF-kappaB pathways .
BMPR1A is essential for various developmental processes. For instance, BMPR1A null mice die at embryonic day 8.0 due to the lack of mesoderm specification, highlighting its vital role in gastrulation . Additionally, BMPR1A is involved in maintaining stable stem cell populations by repressing WNT signaling . It also plays a role in apoptosis, adipocyte development, and cell differentiation .
Mutations in the BMPR1A gene are associated with several hereditary conditions, including Juvenile Polyposis Syndrome and Hereditary Mixed Polyposis Syndrome . These conditions are characterized by the development of numerous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract, which can increase the risk of colorectal cancer .
