BMP Type II Receptor (BMPR2) is a type II member of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptor family of transmembrane serine/threonine kinases. BMPR2 is highly expressed in the heart and liver, and involves in osteogenesis and cell differentiation, essential for embryogenesis, development, and adult tissue homeostasis [1] [2] . BMPR2 is associated with tubulin stability, the inhibition of BMPR2 destabilizes the microtubules promoting cell death of cancer cells that involves the activation of the lysosomes [3] . Human BMPR2 protein contains 1038 amino acids and a transmembrane domain (151-171 a.a.). BMPR-II Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the extracellular part of the complete BMPR2 protein, produced by HEK293 cells (S27-I151) with C-terminal 6*His-tag.

BMP Type II Receptor (BMPR2) is a member of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptor family of transmembrane serine/threonine kinases. BMPs are involved in endochondral bone formation and embryogenesis, transducing signals through the formation of heteromeric complexes of 2 types BMP receptors: type I receptors (50-55 kD) and type II receptors (70-80 kD). Type II receptors phosphorylate and activate type I receptors which autophosphorylate, then bind and activate SMAD transcriptional regulators [1] [2] . BMPR2 is highly expressed in the heart and liver, and involves in osteogenesis and cell differentiation, essential for embryogenesis, development, and adult tissue homeostasis. The BMPR2 pathway inhibits smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation within the pulmonary circulation, primarily within the small pulmonary arterioles. When mutated, BMPR2 is associated with an increased susceptibility to develop pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) [1] . BMPR2 is essential for tubulin stability, as recent studies have shown that BMP2 regulates cell survival signaling events in cancer cells independent of the BMP type 1 receptor (BMPR1) or the Smad-1/5 transcription factor. Mutations in BMPR2 trafficking proteins leads to overactive BMP signaling, which leads to neurological diseases caused by BMPR2 stabilization of the microtubules. Inhibition of BMPR2 destabilizes the microtubules, thus leads to lysosomes activation in promoting cell death progress of cancer cells [3] . Particularly, there is strong correlation between BMPR2 promoter DNA methylation and the severity of valvular heart disease (VHD), which makes BMPR2 serve as good biomarkers of VHD. Meanwhile, DNA methylation may cause PAH through deregulation of BMP signaling and increased apoptosis [4] . The sequences of BMPR2 protein are conserved among different species, and the sequence of human shares a high similarity with rat (96.15%) and mouse (96.63%), respectively.
