Antibody System Recombinant Human GDF11/BMP11 Protein, Tag-Free
Product Overview
Accelerate your cellular development and aging research with the Antibody System Recombinant Human GDF11/BMP11 Protein (Tag-Free). Growth/Differentiation Factor 11 (GDF11)—also known as Bone Morphogenetic Protein 11 (BMP11)—is a highly conserved member of the TGF-beta superfamily. It acts as a major circulating factor regulating embryonic patterning, neurogenesis, muscle homeostasis, and vascular rejuvenation pathways.
This recombinant protein is expressed in mammalian cells to ensure authentic post-translational modifications, proper disulfide-bond formation, and native-like biological activity. Formulated completely tag-free, it eliminates any potential steric hindrance or non-specific interference caused by artificial fusion tags, making it the ideal choice for sensitive functional assays and in vitro cell culture studies.

Biological Context & Research Applications
GDF11 signals through the Activin type II receptors (ActRIIA and ActRIIB) to activate the Smad2/3 pathway. Given its multifaceted physiological impact, this tag-free recombinant protein serves as an indispensable tool for investigating:
-
The molecular mechanisms of systemic aging, tissue rejuvenation, and metabolic regulation.
-
Skeletal muscle development, neuromuscular junctions, and muscle wasting pathologies.
-
Anterior-posterior patterning during embryonic development and mammalian organogenesis.
Handling, Reconstitution & Storage
-
Shipping: Securely distributed under temperature-controlled conditions on blue ice or dry ice to maximize protein stability.
-
Reconstitution: Reconstitute in sterile water to create a stable primary stock solution.
-
Storage Framework:
-
Short-Term: Store at 2°C to 8°C for up to one week of routine, frequent laboratory use.
-
Long-Term: Store at -20°C (or -80°C) for up to 12 months from the date of receipt.
-
Note: Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to prevent loss of protein activity.
