Recombinant Human Periostin (C-6His)

Osteoblast-Specific Factor OSF-2 (POSTN, Periostin, OSF-2) is a secreted, homodimeric protein that belongs to the periostin family of the FAS1 superfamily of molecules. Periostin is a disulfide linked 90kDa bone adhesion protein secreted by osteoblasts and osteoblast-like cell lines and the protein is an attachment agent for osteoblasts. It is a TGF-beta inducible molecule that serves as both an adhesion molecule and tumor suppressor. It is synthesized by smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts and osteoblasts, as well as in the periosteum and periodontal ligament. Periostin functions as a ligand for alpha-V/beta-3 and alpha-V/beta-5 integrins to support adhesion and migration of epithelial cells.

Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting.It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml.Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Store at -70°C/-20°C, stable for 6 months after receipt.Store at ≤-70°C, stable for 3 months under sterile conditions after opening. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Recombinant Human Osteoblast Specific Factor 2 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Asn22-Gln779 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.
