Recombinant human BMP-6 (Cat. No. 595502) (black circles) induces the differentiation of ATDC5 mouse chondrogenic cells. Ultra-LEAF™ purified anti-humam BMP-6 (clone A20139D) (purple squares) inhibits the effect of recombinant human BMP-6 at 0.1 µg/mL in ATDC5 cells in a dose-dependent manner, whereas the Ultra-LEAF™ purified mouse IgG2a, κ isotype control (Cat. No. 401507) (gray triangles) does not have effect. ND50 range: 0.1 - 0.6 µg/mL.

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) belong to the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) superfamily. BMPs play a key role in embryonic development, especially during heart, neural, and cartilage development. Around 20 BMP family members have been identified and characterized. BMPs signal through serine/threonine kinase receptors, composed of type I and II subtypes. Four type I receptors have been identified: type IA and IB BMP receptors, type IA activin receptor, and activin receptor-like kinase I (ALK-1). Three type II receptors have also been recognized: type II BMP receptor and type II and IIB activin receptors. Human recombinant BMP-6 can restore bone in animal models of osteoporosis. BMP-6 induces bone formation through IGF-I and EGF pathways in a murine model of osteopenia and in human osteoblasts. BMP-6 has been reported to have an antiproliferative effect on B, T cells, and macrophages. Also, BMP-6 induced expression of pro-inflammatory inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), TNF-α and IL-1β in macrophages. In addition, BMP-6 is a key endogenous regulator of hepcidin expression and iron metabolism in vivo. In fact, BMP-6 null mice have a phenotype that resembles mouse models of juvenile hemochromatosis (an iron overload disorder caused by mutations in the genes encoding the major iron regulatory hormone hepcidin and hemojuvelin).

Related FAQs
- Do you guarantee that your antibodies are totally pathogen free?
-
BioLegend does not test for pathogens in-house aside from the GoInVivo™ product line. However, upon request, this can be tested on a custom basis with an outside, independent laboratory.
- Does BioLegend test each Ultra-LEAF™ antibody by functional assay?
-
No, BioLegend does not test Ultra-LEAF™ antibodies by functional assays unless otherwise indicated. Due to the possible complexities and variations of uses of biofunctional antibodies in different assays and because of the large product portfolio, BioLegend does not currently perform functional assays as a routine QC for the antibodies. However, we do provide references in which the antibodies were used for functional assays and we do perform QC to verify the specificity and quality of the antibody based on our strict specification criteria.
- Does BioLegend test each Ultra-LEAF™ antibody for potential pathogens?
-
No, BioLegend does not test for pathogens in-house unless otherwise indicated. However, we can recommend an outside vendor to perform this testing as needed.
- Have you tested this Ultra-LEAF™ antibody for in vivo or in vitro applications?
-
We don't test our antibodies for in vivo or in vitro applications unless otherwise indicated. Depending on the product, the TDS may describe literature supporting usage of a particular product for bioassay. It may be best to further consult the literature to find clone specific information.
