Cloning, characterization and expression of chicken (Gallus gallus Linnaeus) Bone Morphogenic Protein 2 in Pichia pastoris
Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 (BMP2) is well known with its significant role in bone healing process and oesteogenesis. It was accidentally discovered by Urist in 1965, when he implanted a demineralized bone in the muscle pouch of a rat. Sampath and Reddi (1981) had further confirmed the effect and c...

Research also has shown that, codon optimization not only resulted in better gene expression but at the same time the expression products could be purified more readily as compared to the native version. Therefore, with gene synthesis method another new nucleotide sequence of BMP2 was synthesized and it consisted of low % of GC content as compared to the native BMP2 gene and had better stability during the expression stage.
