BMP6 - bone morphogenetic protein 6 Gene
Also Known as IO; VGR; VGR1
Species: Homo sapiens
About BMP6
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 207 orthologues and 31 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in placenta (RPKM 15.8), lung (RPKM 11.0) and 24 other tissues.
Summary
This gene 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.
