It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate mouse GPNMB with 362 pg\/mL sensitivity.\u003cbr\u003e\nSimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:\u003cbr\u003e\n-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less\u003cbr\u003e\n-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fully validated in biological samples\u003cbr\u003e\n-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips\u003cbr\u003e\nA 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (\u003cbr\u003e\nab203359\u003cbr\u003e\n) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.\u003cbr\u003e\nGPNMB (Glycoprotein non-metastatic gene B), also known as Osteoactivin, is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein most often associated with endosomal\/lysosomal compartment and over expressed in many types of cancer. GPNMB is involved in many physiological processes, including transport of late melanosomes to keratinocytes, regulation of osteoblast and osteoclast, stimulation of dendritic cell maturation, and stimulation of adhesion of dendritic cells to endothelial cells.\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\nGPNMB also known as osteoactivin is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein with a molecular mass of approximately 115 kDa. This protein is highly expressed in various tissues including the bone skin and brain. It also shows notable presence in certain immune cells such as dendritic cells and macrophages. GPNMB localizes mainly on the cell membrane and within lysosomal compartments indicating its involvement in cellular and signaling processes.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nGPNMB plays versatile roles in promoting cell growth differentiation and repair. It is involved in processes like tissue regeneration possibly due to its role in cell adhesion and migration. The protein also partakes in osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption therefore linking to skeletal homeostasis. GPNMB forms part of a broader protein complex at the cellular junctions interacting with integrins to mediate its functions.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nGPNMB features prominently in osteoclastogenesis and melanoma metastasis pathways. It cooperates with RANKL an important protein in bone metabolism by influencing osteoclast differentiation and activation. In the context of melanoma GPNMB's action in pathways may enhance tumor proliferation and invasion possibly interacting with signaling molecules like AKT or ERK although the specifics remain actively researched.\u003cbr\u003e\nGPNMB has significant links to both osteoarthritis and certain types of cancer particularly breast cancer and melanoma. In osteoarthritis GPNMB expression often increases reflecting involvement in cartilage degradation processes. Its overexpression correlates with tumor progression in melanoma potentially driven by its interaction with integrin β1 which assists in cellular adhesion and migration within the tumor microenvironment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843569373353,"sku":"ab270892","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab270892","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
