Osteopontin(OPN) also called urinary stone protein, secreted phosphoprotein 1(SPP1), bone sialoprotein, and early T lymphocyte activation 1(ETA1). Osteopontin is a phosphorylated glycoprotein secreted to the mineralizing extrOPNllular matrix by osteoblasts during bone development. It is believed to facilitate the attachment of osteoblasts and osteoclasts to the extrOPNllular matrix, allowing them to perform their respective functions during osteogenesis. Osteopontin is presumably involved in stone formation as stone matrix. The deduced protein sequence reveals a 317-amino acid protein(34,982 Da) containing a 16-amino acid hydrophobic signal sequence and a 33,352-Da protein destines to undergo extensive post-translational modifications before being secreted from the cell. The gene is located on human chromosome 4. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant mouse OPN, consisting of 284 amino acid sequence with the molecular mass of 31.5KDa. As a result of glycosylation, the mol

The platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF) is a mitogen derived from human platelets consisting of two related polypeptides termed A and B chains. The genes for PDGF A chain, B chain/c-sis, and the PDGF receptor are expressed in human malignant glioma cell lines. Normal human endothelial cells in culture express the B chain of PDGF, and that endothelial-derived PDGF B chain is synthesized as a predicted precursor polypeptide of Mr 27,281. The entire B chain of PDGF is highly(96%) homologous to a portion of p28sis, the transforming protein of simian sarcoma virus(SSV). It has been suggested that p28sis exerts its transforming potential by mimicking the growth promoting activity of PDGF and stimulating the cell in an autocrine manner. PDGF A-chain precursor polypeptide is assigned to the proximal long arm of chromosome 7, band q11.23. The human homolog(PDGF B-chain/c-sis) of the transforming gene of simian sarcoma virus is assigned to chromosome 22. The standard product used in this kit is

The protein, also called PGF, is 149 amino acids long and shares 53% identity with the platelet-derived growth factor-like region of human VPF. And the N-glycosylated PLGF protein is secreted into the medium and that it functions as a dimer1. The PLGF gene is mapped to 14q24-q31. There are 3 isoforms of PGF, designated PGF1, PGF2, and PGF3. Only PGF2 is able to bind heparin. Additionally, PGF regulates inter- and intramolecular cross-talk between the VEGF receptor tyrosine kinases FLT1 and FLK12. It also can stimulate angiogenesis and collateral growth in ischemic heart and limb with at least a comparable efficiency to VEGF3.

Rantes(regulated on activation normal T cell expressed and secreted) is one of the natural ligands for the chemokine receptor CCR5 and potently suppresses in vitro replication of the R5 strains of HIV-1, which use CCR5 as a coreceptor. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells or CD4(+) lymphocytes obtained from different individuals have wide variations in their ability to secrete RANTES. The Rantes gene product is predicted to be 10 kDa and, after cleavage of the signal peptide, approximately 8 kDa. Of the 68 residues, 4 are cysteines, and there are no sites for N-linked glycosylation. Rantes is expressed by cultured T cell lines that are Ag specific and growth factor dependent.

E-selectin, also called endothelial-leukocyte adhesion molecule-1(ELAM-1), is a cell surface glycoprotein expressed by cytokine-activated endothelium that mediates the adhesion of blood neutrophils. An increased expression of E-selectin has been observed in the arterial endothelium interacting with lymphocytes and macrophages in human atherosclerotic lesions. E-selectin plays a critical role in mediating tissue-specific homing of T cells into skin, and of primitive hematopoietic progenitor cells(HPCs) into bone marrow(BM). A structurally and functionally related group of genes, lymph node homing receptor(LHR), granule membrane protein 140(GMP-140), and endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule 1(ELAM-1) are shown to constitute a gene cluster on mouse and human chromosome 1. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant human E-Selectin, excluding intercellular E-Selectin and transmembrane domain. It consists of totally 535 amino acids with the molecular mass of 58.6KDa.
