Description : Bone Morphogenetic Protein 6 (BMP-6), also known as Vgr-1, is a member of the BMP subfamily of TGF-beta superfamily proteins. BMPs are involved in a wide range of processes including embryogenesis, tissue morphogenesis, cell differentiation and migration, and tumorigenesis. Human BMP-6 is synthesized as a 513 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 protein, although it can also form heterodimers with mature BMP-2. Mature human BMP-6 shares 96% and 98% aa sequence identity with mouse 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. BMP-6 induces the expression of Noggin and is subsequently antagonized by Noggin. BMP-6 induces a wide range of cellular responses. It promotes osteoblast differentiation from mesenchymal stem cells, chondrocyte maturation, Ang II-induced aldosterone production in the adrenal cortex, hormone production and responsiveness in ovarian granulosa cells, iNOS and TNF-alpha production in macrophages, the cell death of B cells, and neurite outgrowth. BMP-6 expression is induced in astrocytes surrounding sites of brain injury where it functions as a neuroprotectant. It enhances tumor progression by promoting local angiogenesis and differentiation of immune tolerizing M2 macrophages. Through interactions with the BMP co-receptor RGM-C/Hemojuvelin, BMP-6 plays an important role in iron homeostasis by promoting Hepcidin expression and preventing serum iron overload. Heterodimers of BMP-2 and BMP-6 show increased potency at inducing osteoblastic calcium deposition, chondrogenesis, and in vivo bone formation compared to either BMP-2 or BMP-6 homodimers.

Are there any ongoing clinical trials involving BMP6? 01/27/2022

Yes, there are several ongoing clinical trials investigating the therapeutic applications of BMP6, including its use in bone regeneration and the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders.

Can BMP6 be used in conjunction with other growth factors? 10/09/2017

Yes, BMP6 is often used in combination with other growth factors and scaffolds to enhance its regenerative potential, especially in tissue engineering applications.

Is BMP6 only relevant for bone-related conditions? 11/01/2016

No, BMP6's influence extends beyond bone health. It has been implicated in various cellular processes, including iron homeostasis, and its therapeutic potential is being explored in multiple medical fields.

How does BMP6 contribute to the treatment of bone disorders? 08/08/2016

BMP6 has therapeutic potential in treating bone disorders, such as non-union fractures and osteoporosis. Its ability to stimulate bone formation makes it a valuable candidate for regenerative medicine.

Can BMP6 be administered systemically or is it site-specific? 01/15/2016

BMP6 can be administered both locally and systemically, depending on the therapeutic goals. Local administration is often preferred for targeted effects, such as bone regeneration at a specific site.
