Description
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 extrOPNllular matrix by osteoblasts during bone development. Osteopontin is presumably involved in stone formation as stone matrix. The deduced protein sequence reveals a 317-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. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant human OPN, consisting of 17-314 amino acid sequence with the molecular mass of 32.9KDa. As a result of glycosylation, the molecular mass is 60-65KDa.
Immunogen
A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human Osteopontin(28-47aa EEKQLYNKYPDAVATWLNPD), different from the related mouse sequence by six amino acids.
