Recombinant Human BMP6

• Cat.No.: BMP6-41H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human BMP6 protein was expressed in HEK293 Cells and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: HEK293
• Tag: Non
• Description: TGF beta family members are key modulators of cell proliferation, differentiation, matrix synthesis, and apoptosis. As implied by their name, BMPs initiate, promote, and regulate the development, growth and remodeling of bone and cartilage. In addition to this role, BMPs are also involved in prenatal development and postnatal growth, remodeling and maintenance of a variety of other tissues and organs. Increasing evidence indicates that BMP-Smad signaling has a tumor suppressing activity and that BMPs can inhibit tumor growth. BMP-6 is abnormally expressed in breast cancer cell lines; however, its function in promoting breast cancer development is unknown.
