I recently start and try to research the Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (bmp4) gene.
I want to inhibit BMP4 gene expression and so I think bmp4 gene knockdown using si or shRNA is okay. but when I search for bmp4 gene inhibition in cells, there is no many article using directly knockdown bmp4 gene rather inhibit SMAD or bmp receptor.
I want to question to those who have researched bmp4 gene.
"when you guys want to deplete bmp4, you usually do not use bmp4 gene knockdown directly?"
thank you.
