BMP6 antibody (N-Term) (Biotin)

Catalog No. ABIN111999

Product Details anti-BMP6 Antibody (Biotin)

Target: BMP6 (Bone Morphogenetic Protein 6 (BMP6))

Binding Specificity: AA 1-29, N-Term

Reactivity: Human, Rat

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This BMP6 antibody is conjugated to Biotin

Application: Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

Specificity: This antibody reacts with Bone morphogenic Protein-6 (BMP-6). Antigen specificity of morph-6.1: Pre-incubation of morph-6.1 with amino-terminal peptide 1-29 of BMP-6 inhibits binding of the mAb to tissue sections. Pre-incubation with other amino-terminal synthetic peptides of human BMP-7, BMP-4, BMP-3 and BMP-2 as well as an irrelevant peptide does not inhibit specific tissue staining. Antigen Distribution on Tissue Sections: Positive staining can be observed in embryonic and adult central nervous system. Rat radial glial cells of the developing central nervous system from E11 to E19. In rat peripheral nerves a selective intracellular immunoreactivity can be found in perinuclear region of most Schwann cells which form the myelin sheath. However, some Schwann cells were negative for morph-6.1. BMP-6 can also be found in a variety of other tissues and cell types, notably keratinizing epithelial cells. Smooth muscle cells, characterized by Desmin positivity, were positively stained in normal tissues and in atherosclerotic plaques. Macrophages (CD68+) and endothelial cells were negative with morph-6.1.

Background: Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMP) are members of the TGF beta superfamily of cytokines that affect bone and cartilage formation. Similar to other TGF beta family proteins, BMPs are highly conserved across animal species. BMPs are involved in embryogenesis and morphogenesis of various tissues and organs. BMP6 is an autocrine stimulator of chondrocyte differentiation and has been implicated in the development of embryonic kidney and urinary systems. It is involved in liver growth and differentiation, keratinocyte differentiation, and regulation of neuronal tissue development. BMP6 expression is localized to smooth muscle cells of normal cerebral blood vessels, intimal plaques and atherosclerotically changed blood vessels, further suggesting a role as a regulator of developing tissues. BMP-6 is a member of the TGF-beta superfamily of cytokines regulating homeotic gene expression, embryonic development and neurogenesis.Synonyms: BMP-6, Bone morphogenetic protein 6, VGR, VGR1
