This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.
Immunogen
This SOST antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 38-66 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human SOST.
Sclerostin is a secreted glycoprotein with a C-terminal cysteine knot-like (CTCK) domain and sequence similarity to the DAN (differential screening-selected gene aberrative in neuroblastoma) family of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonists. Loss-of-function mutations in this gene are associated with an autosomal-recessive disorder, sclerosteosis, which causes progressive bone overgrowth. A deletion downstream of this gene, which causes reduced sclerostin expression, is associated with a milder form of the disorder called van Buchem disease. [provided by RefSeq].
