It is processed by matrix metalloproteases 3 and 4 as well as thrombin, which generate two functional fragments: an N terminal (RGD) fragment that binds to integrin receptors and a C terminal fragment (containing heparin binding sites) that interacts with CD44. Osteopontin can be present as a cytokine-like soluble protein or an immobilized extracellular matrix protein. Osteopontin is important in multiple physiologic and pathologic processes including survival, adhesion, migration, angiogenesis, apoptosis, inflammation, macrophage migration, B cell proliferation, Ig production, wound healing and tumor metastasis.\u003cbr\u003e\nREACH authorisation\u003cbr\u003e\nAbcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nOsteopontin 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nOsteopontin 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nOsteopontin 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nOsteopontin 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843583103145,"sku":"ab254514","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab254514","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
