Research Area | Cardiovascular |
Form | Liquid or Lyophilized powder |
Buffer | Liquid form: default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. Lyophilized powder form: the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0. |
Reconstitution | Briefly centrifuged the vial prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. It is recommended to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. The default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. |
Storage | 1. Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt, aliquoting is necessary for mutiple use. 2. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. 3. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week. 4. In general, protein in liquid form is stable for up to 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. Protein in lyophilized powder form is stable for up to 12 months at -20°C/-80°C. |
Notes | Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week. |

- activin can explain that the effects of BMP15 mutations differ when present in different genetic backgrounds PMID: 28069901
- BMP15 mutation is associated with prolificacy and female sterility. PMID: 28506298
- Studied polymorphism of BMP15 gene exon 1 using single strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) and direct DNA sequencing methods in 170 Mehraban and Lori sheep ewes. PMID: 27565869
- study concluded that growth differentiation factor 9 and bone morphogenetic protein 15 follow stage-specific pattern of expression during the in vivo development of ovarian follicles in sheep, and in vitro culture altered these changes PMID: 26474685
- two novel mutations in the BMP15 gene are associated with increased litter size and ovulation rate PMID: 23637641
- Combined effect analyses indicated an extremely significant interaction between the random combinations of BMPR-IB, BMP-15 and FSHR genes on litter size. PMID: 25993301
- A higher number of oocytes proven to be competent for in vitro development and embryo survival after transfer are recovered from R+ ewes, despite the lower mean size of their follicles at puncture. PMID: 23438026
- The Lleyn breed was the most likely source of the BMP15 FecX(G) and GDF9 FecG(H) mutations in Belclare and Cambridge sheep, and the BMP15 FecX(B) mutation came from the High Fertility line developed from prolific ewes in commercial flocks in Ireland. PMID: 23301039
- Studies indicate that in BMP15-Knockout sheep, oocytes die as follicles start to grow. PMID: 23417416
- DNA polymorphism studies of BMP 15 gene in Corriedale and local Kashmir valley sheep (Ovis aries). PMID: 22425967
- A mutation in the bone morphogenetic protein 15 gene (FecXR allele) causes increased prolificity in heterozygous and sterility in homozygous ewes. PMID: 21622876
- It is concluded that the mutation in the BMP15 gene in I+ ewes leads to an earlier acquisition of LH responsiveness by granulosa cells in a greater proportion of follicles and this accounts for the small higher ovulation-rate in these animals. PMID: 19535491
- Data suggest an interaction between BMP15 levels and nutritional signals in the follicle to control ovulation rate; studies involved heterozygous Inverdale ewes. PMID: 21871206
- investigation of regulation of gene expression of BMP15 in ovulation: Higher ovulation rate in BB sheep (homozygous for mutation in BMPR1B) is due, at least in part, to low oocyte-derived BMP15 mRNA levels. PMID: 21474605
- 11-point mutations of BMP1B, BMP15, and GDF9 genes of 97 Bonpala ewes were genotyped. PMID: 21774623
- A significant association was found between BMP15 gene HinfI polymorphism and litter size in fat-tailed sheep. The heterozygous genotype showed higher litter size. PMID: 21327517
- These heterozygous genotypes resulted in higher ovulation rates, illustrating that one copy of each of the BMP15 and GDF9 mutations had equivalent effects on the ovulation rate. PMID: 19144040
- BMP15 has an essential role in ovarian folliculogenesis and the control of ovulation rate in sheep. PMID: 17038554
- Small Tailed Han ewes carrying mutations in both BMPR-IB and BMP-15 genes had greater litter size than those with either mutation alone. PMID: 17040942
- sequence of the complete coding region of BMP15 gene and determination of the patterns of expression of mRNAs encoding BMP15 PMID: 17715428
- in BMP15, this new mutation is associated with increased prolificacy and sterility in heterozygous and homozygous ewes respectively PMID: 18355397
- Expression patterns of 4 maternal effect genes (ZAR1, MATER, GDF9, and BMP15) were determined in ovine oocytes and in vitro-produced preimplantation embryos [ZAR1]. PMID: 19007555
