Rabbit anti-Dog Osteopontin (OPN) Polyclonal Antibody | anti-OPN antibody
Biotin-Linked Antibody to Osteopontin (OPN)
Immunohistochemistry: 5-20ug/mL;1:25-100
Immunocytochemistry: 5-20ug/mL;1:25-100
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.
Store at 4°C for frequent use.
Stored at -20°C in a manual defrost freezer for two year without detectable loss of activity.
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Stability:
The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37°C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is involved in the attachment of osteoclasts to the mineralized bone matrix. The encoded protein is secreted and binds hydroxyapatite with high affinity. The osteoclast vitronectin receptor is found in the cell membrane and may be involved in the binding to this protein. This protein is also a cytokine that upregulates expression of interferon-gamma and interleukin-12. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Uniprot Description
osteopontin: Binds tightly to hydroxyapatite. Appears to form an integral part of the mineralized matrix. Probably important to cell-matrix interaction. Belongs to the osteopontin family. 5 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 4q22.1
Cellular Component: extracellular space; cell projection; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; apical part of cell; extracellular region
Molecular Function: protein binding; extracellular matrix binding; cytokine activity
Biological Process: osteoblast differentiation; extracellular matrix disassembly; neutrophil chemotaxis; extracellular matrix organization and biogenesis; response to vitamin D; response to steroid hormone stimulus; biomineral formation; negative regulation of collateral sprouting of intact axon in response to injury; positive regulation of bone resorption; decidualization; inflammatory response; cell adhesion; embryo implantation

Product Notes
The OPN spp1 (Catalog #AAA2002851) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Biotin-Linked Antibody to Osteopontin (OPN) reacts with Dog and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Osteopontin (OPN) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), ELISA (EIA), Western Blot (WB). Western blotting: 0.2-2ug/mL;1:250-2500 Immunohistochemistry: 5-20ug/mL;1:25-100 Immunocytochemistry: 5-20ug/mL;1:25-100 Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the OPN spp1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Osteopontin (OPN), Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
