Gene: BMP4
Official Full Name: bone morphogenetic protein 4provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene 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. This protein regulates heart development and adipogenesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with orofacial cleft and microphthalmia in human patients. The encoded protein may also be involved in the pathology of multiple cardiovascular diseases and human cancers. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

BMP4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are a powerful tool designed for the study of bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) signaling pathways and their biological consequences. These cell lines are meticulously engineered to lack functional BMP4 genes, enabling researchers to investigate the role of this critical protein in various physiological and pathological contexts, including development, tissue homeostasis, and disease models.
The primary function of BMP4 is to regulate cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis through its interactions with specific receptors that activate SMAD signaling pathways. By using BMP4 gene knockout cell lines, researchers can effectively eliminate BMP4 signaling, thereby elucidating the protein's contributions to cellular behavior and how its dysregulation may lead to conditions like fibrosis, cancer, and skeletal defects.
These cell lines are of significant scientific importance as they provide a reliable platform for elucidating BMP4’s roles in both in vitro and in vivo settings. Their applications extend to drug discovery, basic research in developmental biology, and the study of signaling networks, making them invaluable in clinical settings that seek to understand and treat BMP4-related diseases.
When compared to traditional methods, such as RNA interference or pharmacological inhibition, BMP4 gene knockout cell lines offer specific advantages including a more stable and complete loss of function, which can lead to more reproducible results. Their precise genetic backgrounds allow for rigorous research designs and the ability to derive insights into the cellular mechanisms underlying BMP4 signaling.
For researchers and clinicians, the ability to utilize these knockout cell lines significantly enhances experimental accuracy and provides a clearer understanding of BMP4’s multifaceted roles. Our commitment to delivering high-quality biological products is evident in the meticulous development and validation of these BMP4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, backed by our extensive expertise in molecular biology and genetic engineering. With these resources, we empower the scientific community to explore new frontiers in biologic research and therapeutic innovation.
