Background

POSTN (Periostin), also known as PN or OSF2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the POSTN gene. The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium mapped the POSTN gene to chromosome 13. Gillan et al. (2002) found that purified recombinant PN supported adhesion of ovarian epithelial cells. Shao et al. (2004) found that periostin was overexpressed by the majority of human primary breast cancers examined. Transfected tumor cell lines overexpressing periostin showed accelerated growth and angiogenesis as xenografts in immunocompromised animals. Kuhn et al. (2007) showed that extracellular periostin induced reentry of differentiated mammalian cardiomyocytes into the cell cycle.

Polyclonal

Tissue Specificity

Preferentially expressed in periosteum and periodontal ligament. Also expressed in the developing and adult heart. .

Applications

WB

Purification

Immunogen affinity purified.

Concentration

Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 μg/ml.

Form

Lyophilized

Reconstitution

Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.

Function

Induces cell attachment and spreading and plays a role in cell adhesion. May play a role in extracellular matrix mineralization. Enhances incorporation of BMP1 in the fibronectin matrix of connective tissues, and subsequent proteolytic activation of lysyl oxidase LOX. .
