Description

General description

Recombinant, mouse sclerostin (SOST) consisting of amino acids 24-211, expressed in NS0-derived murine myeloma cells with an N-terminal His•Tag. SOST is expressed by osteoclasts in developing bones of mouse embryos and acts as a negative regulator of bone formation through repression of BMP-induced osteogenesis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Inhibition Assay: Inhibits hBMP-6-induced alkaline phosphatase by 50-80% in MC3T3-E1 mouse osteoblastic cells when used at a concentration of 30 µg/ml.

Warning

Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)

Physical form

Lyophilized from 0.2 µm filter-sterilized PBS, BSA.

Reconstitution

Following reconstitution refrigerate (4°C) for short-term storage or aliquot and freeze (-20°C) for long-term storage. Stock solutions are stable for up to 1 month at 4°C or for up to 3 months at -20°C.

Reconstitute to 200 µg/ml in sterile PBS containing at least 0.1% human or bovine serum albumin.
