Background

SPARC, secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine , also known as Osteonectin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SPARC gene. The human SPARC gene is 26.5 kb long, and contains 10 exons and 9 introns and is located on chromosome 5q31-q33. SPARC is a glycoprotein of 40 kD. SPARC is an acidic, cysteine-rich glycoprotein consisting of a single polypeptide chain that can be broken into 4 domains: 1) an Ca++ binding domains near the glutamic acidic-rich region at the amino terminus (domain I), 2) a cysteine- rich (domain II), 3) a hydrophilic region (domain III) and 4) an EF hand motif at the carboxy terminus region (domain IV). Osteonectin is a glycoprotein in the bone that binds sodium. It is secreted by osteoblasts during bone formation, initiating mineralization and promoting mineral crystal formation. Osteonectin also shows affinity for collagen in addition to bone mineral calcium. A correlation between osteonectin over expression and ampullary cancers and chronic pancreatitis has been found.

Tissue Specificity

Abundant in brain.

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

Appears to regulate cell growth through interactions with the extracellular matrix and cytokines. Binds calcium and copper, several types of collagen, albumin, thrombospondin, PDGF and cell membranes. There are two calcium binding sites; an acidic domain that binds 5 to 8 Ca (2+) with a low affinity and an EF-hand loop that binds a Ca (2+) ion with a high affinity.

Storage Conditions

Store at -20℃ for one year from date of receipt. After reconstitution, at 4℃ for one month. It can also be aliquotted and stored frozen at -20℃ for six months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Fragment

Rabbit IgG

Applications Notes

Western blot, 0.1-0.5μg/ml, Human<br>

Subcellular Location

Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix, basement membrane . In or around the basement membrane.
