Recombinant Human SMOC1 Protein (His Tag)

SPARC-related modular calcium-binding protein 1, also known as secreted modular calcium-binding protein 1 and SMOC1, is a member of the SPARC family. SMOC1 is widely expressed in many tissues with a strongest signal in ovary. It contains twoEF-hand domains, oneKazal-like domain and twothyroglobulin type-1 domains. Extracellular matrix proteins have been implicated in the regulation of osteoblast differentiation of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) through paracrine or autocrine mechanisms. SMOC1 is a regulator of osteoblast differentiation of BMSCs. SMOC1 is highly expressed and secreted in BMSCs stimulated with osteogenic medium (OSM) . SMOC1 and SMOC2 are matricellular proteins thought to influence growth factor signaling, migration, proliferation, and angiogenesis. SMOC1 and SMOC2 may mediate intercellular signaling and cell type-specific differentiation during gonad and reproductive tract development.

Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
