Background:
Osteocrin is a recently identified secreted protein expression of which was only detected in bone, peaking just after birth and decreasing markedly with age. A 1280-bp mRNA encodes osteocrin producing a mature protein of 103 amino acids with a molecular mass of 11.4 kDa. In primary osteoblastic cell cultures osteocrin expression coincided with matrix formation then decreased in very mature cultures. Treatment of cultures with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 resulted in a rapid dosedependent down-regulation of osteocrin expression, suggesting direct regulation. Chronic treatment of primary cultures with osteocrin-conditioned media inhibited mineralization and reduced osteocalcin and
alkaline phosphatase expression. These results suggest that osteocrin represents a novel, unique vitamin D-regulated bone-specific protein that appears to act as a soluble osteoblast regulator.
Description:
The recombinant Human Osteocrin is produced with N-terminal fusion of HisTag. The Human Osteocrin His-Tagged Fusion Protein is 13.6 kDa containing 106 amino acid residues of the human Osteocrin and 16 additional amino acid residues ?HisTag (bold).

Physical Appearance:
Sterile Filtered lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation:
Sterile filtered and lyophilized from 0.5 mg/ml in 5mM TRIS, 25mM NaCl, pH 7.5.
Specificity:
The amino acid sequence of the recombinant human Osteocrin is 100% homologous to the amino acid sequence of the human Osteocrin without signal sequence.
Purification Method:
One-step procedure using affinity Ni-NTA chromatography.
Purity:
>95 % (SDS-PAGE analyzed).
Reconstitution:
Add 0.2 ml of dH2O and let the lyophilized pellet dissolve completely.
Storage: Store lyophilized protein at -20蚓. Aliquot the product after reconstitution to
avoid repeated freezing/thawing cycles. Reconstituted protein can be stored at
4蚓 for a limited period of time; it does not show any change after two weeks at
4蚓.
Stability/Shelf Life:
The lyophilized protein remains stable until the expiry date when stored at -20蚓.
Applications:
Western blotting, ELISA
