SILu™Lite SOST, Sclerostin human
SIGMA/MSST0048 - recombinant, expressed in HEK 293 cells, MS Protein Standard
Product Type: Chemical
SILuProt products are stable isotope-labeled full length proteins designed to be used as mass spectrometry internal standards for quantitative proteomics. Introduction of an internal SILuProt standard at the beginning of the MS workflow minimizes variations in quantification due to protein extraction, fractionation, enrichment, proteolysis and analysis

| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Sclerostin is a secreted Wnt signaling antagonist produced almost exclusively by osteocytes. It can selectively inhibit Wnt/ β-catenin, suppressing the activity of osteoblasts as well as the viability of osteoblasts and osteocytes. Lower sclerostin levels are associated with lower bone mineral content and bone. It was demonstrated that greater total limb bone mineral content was significantly associated with greater circulating levels of sclerostin. In addition, circulating sclerostin is a biomarker of osteoporosis severity in long-term, chronic paraplegia. Serum sclerostin was associated significantly, independently, and positively with bone mineral density of both cortical and cancellous bone. Sclerostin is considered to be one of the factors associated with chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder in hemodialysis patients. |
| General description: | SILu™Lite SOST is a recombinant human protein expressed in human 293 cells. It consists of 201 amino acids (including a N-terminal polyhistidine and tag), with a calculated molecular mass of 22.8 kDa. SILu™Lite SOST is an analytical standard designed to be used as starting material for preparation of calibrators and controls in LC-MS applications. |
