Activity
When 1 x 105 cells/well are added to a Recombinant Mouse (rm) Osteopontin/OPN coated plate, cell adhesion is enhanced in a dose-dependent manner after 1 hour incubation at 37 °C. The ED50 for this effect is 0.25-1.5 µg/mL. Recombinant Human Coagulation Factor II/Thrombin (Catalog # 1473-SE) proteolytic treatment of this rmOsteopontin can increase HEK293 cell adhesion by about 10-fold.

Formulation, Preparation and Storage
Carrier Free
What does CF mean?CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.
What formulation is right for me?In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Background: Osteopontin/OPN
(6-8). OPN can also be cleaved by MMP-3, -7, -9, and -12 within the SLAYGLR motif and at sites closer to the C-terminus (8, 9). OPN is widely expressed and is prominent in mineralized tissues. It inhibits bone mineralization and kidney stone formation, and promotes inflammation and cell adhesion and migration (1, 2, 4, 6). Its expression is up-regulated during inflammation, obesity, atherosclerosis, cancer, and tissue damage, and contributes to the pathophysiology of these conditions (1, 2, 6, 9, 10).
