Osteopontin/OPN Protein, Rat (CHO, His)

Osteopontin/OPN Protein, a key non-collagenous bone protein, strongly binds to hydroxyapatite, crucial for the mineralized matrix. It likely plays a vital role in mediating cell-extracellular matrix interactions. Additionally, as a cytokine, OPN stimulates interferon-gamma and interleukin-12 production, while inhibiting interleukin-10, pivotal for the type I immunity pathway. Osteopontin/OPN Protein, Rat (CHO, His) is the recombinant rat-derived Osteopontin/OPN protein, expressed by CHO , with C-6*His labeled tag. The total length of Osteopontin/OPN Protein, Rat (CHO, His) is 301 a.a., with molecular weight of approximately 34.83 kDa.

Osteopontin (OPN) protein, a significant non-collagenous bone protein, tightly binds to hydroxyapatite and plays a crucial role in the mineralized matrix. It is likely essential for facilitating interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix. Furthermore, OPN acts as a cytokine, promoting the production of interferon-gamma and interleukin-12, while inhibiting the production of interleukin-10. These functions are vital in the pathway that leads to type I immunity.

Measured by the ability of the immobilized protein to support the adhesion of HEK293 human embryonic kidney cells. When 1 x 10^5 cells/well are added to Recombinant Rat Osteopontin/OPN coated plates, cell adhesion is enhanced in a dose dependent manner after 1 hour incubation at 37°C. The ED₅₀ for this effect is 1.281 μg/ml, corresponding to a specific activity is 780.640 units/mg.

Lyophilized powder.

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 20 mM PB, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
