| Abstract: | Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) was extracted from the bovine bone matrix and purified by liquid chromatography. The molecular weight of the BMP was 18 kDa by SDS-PAGE, and its pI value was 4.9. Amino acid analysis suggested that the BMP is a polypeptide containing 163 amino acids. In the present study, telopeptide-free type I collagen was used as a carrier of BMP. |
