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. It is believed to facilitate the attachment of osteoblasts and osteoclasts to the extrOPNllular matrix, allowing them to perform their respective functions during osteogenesis. 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 mouse OPN, consisting of 284 amino acid sequence with the molecular mass of 31.5KDa. As a result of glycosylation, the molecular mass is 65KDa.

Useful in Sandwich ELISA for Quantitative Detection of Antigen. Aliquot 0.1ml per well of the 10000pg/ml, 5000pg/ml, 2500pg/ml, 1250pg/ml, 625pg/ml, 312pg/ml, 156pg/ml mouse OPN standard solutions into the precoated 96-well plate. Add 0.1ml of the sample diluent buffer into the control well (Zero well). Add 0.1ml of each properly diluted sample of mouse cell culture supernates, serum, plasma(heparin, EDTA) or urine to each empty well. It is recommended that each mouse OPN standard solution and each sample be measured in duplicate.
