General description

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are the members of the TGF-β superfamily and are identified as the critical factors for formation of bone and cartilage. Apart from this BMPs have immune regulatory functions. The cellular effects of BMPs are mediated by a heteromeric complex composed of type I and type II receptors. BMP-6 regulates both T cell and B cell-mediated immunity. It acts through Smad and p38 pathway to induce the expression of IL-6. Additionally, it induces the expression of iNOS by macrophages through the activation of NF-κB and STAT pathways. BMP-6 is a stimulator of differentiation of liver, bone, neuronal tissue and embryonic kidney and urinary systems. Studies also indicate that BMP-6 is important in the regulation of liver hormone, hepcidin, expression that is important to maintain systemic iron balance
Monoclonal Anti-Bone Morphogenetic Protein 6 recognizes human BMP-6. The antibody shows no cross-reactivity with recombinant human (rh) BMP-2, rhBMP-4, rhBMP-5, and rhBMP-7.

Immunogen

recombinant human BMP-6.

Application

Anti-Bone Morphogenetic Protein 6 antibody may be used for immunoblotting at a working concentration of 1.0-2.0 μg/ml. For capture ELISA a concentration of 4 μg/ml is recommemnded. The antibody is also suitable for neutralization reactions.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline with 5% trehalose.

Preparation Note

Purified using protein G.

The bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP6)-SMAD signaling pathway is a central regulator of hepcidin expression and systemic iron balance. However, the molecular mechanisms by which iron is sensed to regulate BMP6-SMAD signaling and hepcidin expression are unknown. Here we examined

Unlike the prototype transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), bone morphogenetic protein-6 (BMP-6) activates macrophages. Here, we report that BMP-6 induces the expression of IL-6 in macrophages. Using overexpression and knockdown experiments, we demonstrate that BMP receptor type II and activin-like kinase-2

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily, bind to two different serine/threonine kinase receptors, and mediate their signals through Smad-dependent and Smad-independent pathways. Receptor regulated-Smad (R-Smad) proteins specific for the BMP pathways interact with various
