Applications

Recommended Concentration

Sample

Neutralization

Measured by its ability to neutralize BMP‑6-induced alkaline phosphatase production in the ATDC5 mouse chondrogenic cell line. Asahina, I. et al. (1996) Exp. Cell Res. 222:38. The Neutralization Dose (ND₅₀) is typically 1.5-7.5 μg/mL in the presence of 0.5 μg/mL Recombinant Mouse BMP‑6.

Please Note: Optimal dilutions should be determined by each laboratory for each application. General Protocols are available in the Technical Information section on our website.

Alkaline Phosphatase Production Induced by BMP-6 and Neutralization by Mouse BMP-6 Antibody. Recombinant Mouse BMP-6 (Catalog # 6325-BM) induces alkaline phosphatase production in the ATDC5 mouse chondrogenic cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Alkaline Phosphatase Production elicited by Recombinant Mouse BMP-6 (0.5 µg/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Rat Anti-Mouse BMP-6 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB6325). The ND₅₀ is typically 1.5-7.5 µg/mL.

Background: BMP-6

Bone Morphogenetic Protein 6 (BMP‑6), also known as Vgr-1, is one of at least 15 structurally and functionally related BMPs which are members of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta ) superfamily. Mouse BMP‑6 is synthesized as a 510 amino acid (aa) precursor protein that is cleaved at the dibasic cleavage site (RxxR) to release the 18 kDa C‑terminal mature protein. Biologically active BMP‑6 consists of a disulfide-linked homodimer of the mature proteins (1, 2). Mature mouse BMP‑6 shares 96% and 98% aa sequence identity with human and rat BMP‑6, respectively. Cellular responses to BMP‑6 are mediated by hetero-oligomeric complexes of type I (Activin RIA/ALK-2 and BMPR-IA/ALK-3) and type II (Activin RIIA and BMPR-II) serine/threonine kinase receptors (3‑5). Glycosylation of BMP‑6 is required for its interaction with Activin RIA (6). BMP‑6 induces the expression of Noggin and is subsequently antagonized by Noggin (7, 8). BMP‑6 induces a wide range of cellular responses. It promotes osteoblast differentiation from mesenchymal stem cells (5), chondrocyte maturation (9), Ang II-induced aldosterone production in the adrenal cortex (3), hormone production and responsiveness in ovarian granulosa cells (10), iNOS and TNF-alpha production in macrophages (4), the cell death of B cells (8), and neurite outgrowth (11). BMP‑6 expression is induced in astrocytes surrounding sites of brain injury where it functions as a neuroprotectant (11, 12). BMP‑6 is upregulated during prostate cancer progression and promotes tumor cell metastasis to bone (13). Through interactions with the BMP coreceptor RGM‑C/Hemojuvelin, BMP‑6 plays an important role in iron homeostasis by promoting Hepcidin expression and preventing serum iron overload (14, 15).
