Source
Human Osteopontin, His Tag, premium grade (OPN-H5227) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Ile 17 - Asn 300 (Accession # AAH07016).
Predicted N-terminus: Ile 17
It is produced under our rigorous quality control system that incorporates a comprehensive set of tests including sterility and endotoxin tests. Product performance is carefully validated and tested for compatibility for cell culture use or any other applications in the early preclinical stage. When ready to transition into later clinical phases, we also offer a custom GMP protein service that tailors to your needs. We will work with you to customize and develop a GMP-grade product in accordance with your requests that also meets the requirements for raw and ancillary materials use in cell manufacturing of cell-based therapies.
Molecular Characterization

This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.
The protein has a calculated MW of 33.0 kDa. The protein migrates as 12 kDa, 18 kDa and 45-55 kDa when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
Endotoxin
Less than 0.1 EU per μg by the LAL method / rFC method.
Sterility
Negative
Mycoplasma
Negative
Purity
>90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Formulation
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4 with trehalose as protectant.

Background
Osteopontin (OPN) is also known as Secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1), Bone sialoprotein 1, Nephropontin, Urinary stone protein, Uropontin, BNSP, which belongs to the osteopontin family. OPN / SPP1 is a highly negatively charged, extracellular matrix protein that lacks an extensive secondary structure. Full length OPN (OPN-FL) can be modified by thrombin cleavage, which exposes a cryptic sequence, SVVYGLR on the cleaved form of the protein known as OPN-R. Osteopontin / SPP-1 is biosynthesized by a variety of tissue types. OPN is the ligand for integrin alpha-V/beta-3. OPN / SPP1 binds tightly to hydroxyapatite and appears to form an integral part of the mineralized matrix. OPN / SPP1 probably important to cell-matrix interaction. OPN / SPP1 acts as a cytokine involved in enhancing production of interferon-gamma and interleukin-12 and reducing production of interleukin-10 and is essential in the pathway that leads to type I immunity.
