Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Immunofluorescence (IF)
Specificity
It is closely related to GDF9.
Purification
BMP15 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
BMP15 antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid synthetic peptide near the amino terminus of human BMP15. The immunogen is located within amino acids 30 - 80 of BMP15.
BMP15 antibody can be used for detection of BMP15 by Western blot at 1 - 2 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunocytochemistry starting at 2.5 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 2.5 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples, Immunocytochemistry in mouse samples and Immunofluorescence in mouse samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

BMP15 Antibody: BMP15, or GDF9B is a member of the bone morphogenetic protein family which is part of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily that are involved in embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis. BMP15 is expressed exclusively in the oocyte. It is an oocyte-specific growth/differentiation factor that may be involved in oocyte maturation and follicular development. Defects in BMP15 are the cause of ovarian dysgenesis type 2. BMP15 could be used as an oogenesis marker to track human amniotic fluid stem cells differentiation into the oocyte-like cells.
