Bovine Osteopontin (OPN) Protein Summary
Product Specifications
Product Datasheets
109-OP (with carrier)
109-OP/CF (carrier free)
Carrier Free
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.
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
Osteopontin (OPN, also known as early T lymphocyte activation protein 1, bone sialoprotein 1, and secreted phosphoprotein 1), is a secreted, highly acidic,
calcium-binding, phosphorylated glycoprotein originally isolated from bone matrix. Subsequently, OPN has been found in kidney, placenta, blood vessels, and various tumor tissues. Many cell types can express OPN in response to activation by cytokines, growth factors, or inflammatory mediators. Elevated expression of OPN has also been associated with numerous pathobiological conditions such as atherosclerotic plaques, renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis, granuloma formations in tuberculosis and silicosis, neointimal formation associated with balloon catheterization, tumor metastasis, and cerebral ischemia (1, 2). Bovine OPN cDNA encodes a 278 amino acid (aa) residue precursor with a 16 aa signal peptide that is cleaved to yield a 262 aa mature protein with an integrin binding sequence (RGD), a thrombin cleavage site and N- and O-glycosylation sites. Human, mouse, rat, porcine, and bovine OPN share approximately 40%-80% aa sequence identity. OPN has been shown to bind to different cell types through RGD-mediated interaction with Integrins alpha v beta 1, alpha v beta 3, alpha v beta 5, and non-RGD-mediated interaction with CD44 and Integrins alpha 8 beta 1 or alpha 9 beta 1. OPN exists both as a component of extracellular matrix and as a soluble molecule. Functionally, OPN is chemotactic for macrophages, smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, and glial cells. OPN has also been shown to inhibit nitric oxide production and cytotoxicity by activated macrophages. Osteopontin is a substrate for proteolytic cleavage by thrombin, enterokinase, MMP-3, and MMP-7. The functions of OPN in a variety of cell types are modified as a result of proteolytic cleavage (3, 4).
