Bone morphogenic protein 6 (BMP-6) is a member of the TGF-beta superfamily of cytokines regulating homeotic gene expression, embryonic development and neurogenesis. Pre-incubation with amino-terminal peptide 1-29 of BMP-6 inhibits binding of the monoclonal to tissue sections. Pre-incubation with other amino-terminal synthetic peptides of human BMP-7, BMP-4, BMP-3 and BMP-2 as well as irrelevant peptides does not inhibit specific tissue staining.
