BMP6 encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. This protein regulates a wide range of biological processes including iron homeostasis, fat and bone development, and ovulation. Differential expression of this gene may be associated with progression of breast and prostate cancer. Mutations in this gene may be associated with iron overload in human patients.

Bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP6/BMP-6) is a secreted TGF-beta-superfamily growth factor involved in developmental, skeletal and iron-homeostasis signalling. ABMIUM catalogue products linked below support research on BMP6 biology.
Biological function: BMP6 is a TGF-beta-superfamily ligand that promotes cartilage and bone formation and initiates canonical BMP signalling through receptor complexes including ACVR1 and ACVR2B, activating SMAD1/5/8. Reviewed UniProt also establishes an important role in HAMP/hepcidin regulation and systemic iron metabolism, including signalling linked to hemojuvelin (HJV).
