BMP6 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein bone morphogenetic protein 6, which is encoded by the BMP6 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a growth factor of the TGF-beta superfamily that plays essential roles in many developmental processes including cartilage and bone formation. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 513 residues, a mass of 57.2 kDa, and is a member of the TGF-beta protein family. It is known to be secreted. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The BMP6 gene has been associated with the disease, Iron overload. Other alias names for this target include VGR, VGR1, VG-1-R, VG-1-related protein, vegetal related growth factor (TGFB-related), and IO.
Some BMP6 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 1.16 pg/mL and as high as 100 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
