背景介绍
Noggin is a secreted homodimeric glyco Protein that is an antagonist of bone morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs). Mouse Noggin cDNA encodes a 232 amino acid (aa) residue precursor Protein with 19 aa residue putative signal peptide that is cleaved to generate the 213 aa residue mature Protein which is secreted as a homodimeric glyco Protein. Secreted Noggin probably remains close to the cell surface due to its binding of heparin-containing proteoglycans. Noggin binds some BMPs such as BMP4 with high affinity and others such as BMP7 with lower affinity. It antagonizes BMP bioactivities by blocking epitopes on BMPs that are needed for binding to both type I and type II Receptors. Noggin is expressed in defined areas of the adult central nervous system and peripheral tissues such as lung, skeletal muscle and skin. During culture of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) or neural stem cells under certain conditions, addition of Noggin to antagonize BMP activity may allow stem cells to proliferate while maintaining their undifferentiated state, or alternatively, to differentiate into dopaminergic neurons.
