Product details:
Although we aim to provide customers with a homozygous clone, feasibility will be dependent on the biology of the protein. Should only heterozygous edits be achieved, you will be notified of the outcome and be asked to confirm whether the cell line is acceptable. All clones will be accompanied with DNA sequencing data, and the mutation description.
Recommended control
: Human wild-type A549 cell line (ab288558). Please note a wild-type cell line is not automatically included with a knockout cell line order, if required please add recommended wild-type cell line at no additional cost using the code WILDTYPE-TMTK1.
We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

Osteopontin also known as OPN or secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 44 to 75 kDa depending on its post-translational modifications. Osteopontin is characteristically expressed in bone but is also present in various body tissues including kidney liver and immune system cells. This multifunctional protein interacts with cell surface receptors such as integrins and CD44 playing an important role in cell signaling and extracellular matrix interactions. Researchers often study it using osteopontin western blot or osteopontin ELISA kit to understand its expression patterns and roles.
Biological function summary
Osteopontin affects cell adhesion migration and survival. It does not form part of a known large complex but interacts closely with its integrin receptors. Osteopontin modulates immune responses and aids in bone remodeling by affecting osteoclast and osteoblast functions. It is also influential in inflammation processes where it orchestrates the recruitment and activation of macrophages. The osteopontin function is significant in both physiological processes and pathologies marking it as an important protein to study in numerous biological contexts.
Pathways
Osteopontin is integral to both the bone remodeling and immune response pathways. It collaborates with proteins like osteocalcin and matrix metalloproteinases within these processes. In the bone remodeling pathway osteopontin mediates communication between osteoclasts and osteoblasts impacting bone resorption and formation. In the immune response pathway it coordinates with cytokines such as interleukin-6 to modulate immune cell activities. Its roles in these pathways indicate its multifunctional nature and its impact across different biological systems.
Osteopontin links to cancer and cardiovascular diseases. It facilitates tumor progression and metastasis by interacting with proteins such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). In cardiovascular diseases osteopontin influences atherosclerosis development through interactions with inflammatory cytokines and contributes to plaque stability. These disease associations highlight the importance of osteopontin as both a therapeutic target and a biomarker for disease progression and prognosis.
