Anti-Osteopontin, NT (Bone Sialoprotein 1, Nephropontin, Secreted Phosphoprotein 1, SPP-1, Urinary S

Osteopontin is a 35kD extracellular matrix protein with a cell-binding domain. It was originally identified as a major component of the noncollagenous organic bone matrix however it has subsequently been demonstrated in a wide range of normal adult tissue and body fluids. It is a multifunctional protein involved in bone mineralization, cell adhesion, cell migration, chronic inflammatory disease and transformation. This antibody should prove useful in studying the expression of this matrix glycoprotein in tissue homeostasis. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot.
