Description
The recombinant Human Osteocrin is produced with N-terminal fusion of His Tag. 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 – His Tag (underlined).
Synonyms
Osteocrin, Musclin, OSTN.
Introduction
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 dose- dependent 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.
