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.
