Chaperone-mediated production of active homodimer human bone morphogenetic protein - 2 in E. coli.

Human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (hBMP-2) plays a leading role in the process of osteogenesis and is one of the key components of osteoplastic materials, ensuring their high osteoinduction. In order to obtain a homodimeric form hBMP-2 using the E. coli expression system, a number of problems associated with refolding in vitro and purification from monomer and oligomeric forms must be solved.
