Analysis Note

The biological activity is measured by its ability to induce alkaline phosphatase production by ATDC5 mouse chondrogenic cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cellular responses to BMP-6 are mediated by the formation of hetero-oligomeric complexes of type I and type II serine/threonine kinase receptors. Mature human and murine BMP-6 demonstrates 96% homology.

Physical form
