Human OPN ELISA Kit | SPP1 elisa kit
Human OPN PicoKine ELISA Kit
Background: Osteopontin (OPN) also called urinary stone protein, secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1), bone sialoprotein, and early T lymphocyte activation 1 (ETA1). Osteopontin is a phosphorylated glycoprotein secreted to the mineralizing extracellular matrix by osteoblasts during bone development. It is believed to facilitate the attachment of osteoblasts and osteoclasts to the extracellular matrix, allowing them to perform their respective functions during osteogenesis.1Osteopontin is presumably involved in stone formation as stone matrix.2 The deduced protein sequence reveals a317-amino acid protein (34,982 Da) containing a 16-amino acid hydrophobic signal sequence and a 33,352-Da protein destines to undergo extensive post-translational modifications before being secreted from the cell. The gene is located on human chromosome 4.3 The standard product used in this kit is recombinant human OPN, consistingof 17-314 amino acid sequence with the molecular mass of 32.9KDa. As a result of glycosylation, the molecular mass is 60-65KDa.
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.

Product Notes
The Human SPP1 spp1 (Catalog #AAA175873) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA175873 ELISA Kit recognizes Human SPP1. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "OPN, 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
