Background/Introduction: Sclerostin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SOST gene. It is a secreted glycoprotein with a C-terminal cysteine knot-like (CTCK) domain and sequence similarity to the DAN (differential screening-selected gene aberrative in neuroblastoma) family of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonists. Additionally, Sclerostin is produced by the osteocyte and has anti-anabolic effects on bone formation. The SOST gene maps to chromosome 17q12-q21.

Product Notes
The Rat SOST sost (Catalog #AAA8248486) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA8248486 ELISA Kit recognizes Rat SOST. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Sclerostin, ELISA Kit" 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
