BMP6 (Bone Morphogenetic Protein 6) belongs to the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily and plays essential roles in bone and cartilage development, iron metabolism regulation, and embryonic patterning. This signaling molecule has garnered significant research attention for its involvement in skeletal disorders, anemia of chronic disease, and various developmental processes, making reliable detection tools critical for advancing these fields.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 17B11, offers the consistency and reproducibility that demanding research applications require. Generated against a synthetic peptide derived from human BMP6 and produced using recombinant technology, this antibody provides sequence-defined specificity with minimal lot-to-lot variation. The rabbit IgG format, purified by affinity chromatography, ensures high purity suitable for sensitive detection methods.
Validation studies demonstrate robust performance across multiple experimental platforms. Western blot analysis at 1:1000 dilution successfully detected BMP6 in a diverse panel of human cell lines including HEK293, A549, HepG2, HeLa, HL-60, A431, and U-251MG whole cell lysates, with an observed band at approximately 52 kDa. The slight difference from the predicted 57 kDa molecular weight likely reflects post-translational processing characteristic of BMP family proteins. Immunofluorescence staining in U-251MG cells reveals clear cytoplasmic localization, while flow cytometry analysis in HeLa cells shows distinct positive population shifts compared to isotype controls, confirming specificity in single-cell applications.
This antibody supports researchers investigating bone biology, iron homeostasis, cancer progression, and developmental signaling pathways. Its validated performance in western blotting, immunofluorescence, and flow cytometry provides flexibility for characterizing BMP6 expression and localization across diverse experimental contexts.
