| Description : |
This gene encodes a member of the osteocalcin/matrix Gla family of proteins. The encoded vitamin K-dependent protein is secreted by chondrocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells, and functions as a physiological inhibitor of ectopic tissue calcification. This protein also inhibits angiogenesis. Mice lacking a functional copy of this gene exhibit impaired differentiation of endothelial cells, reduced stature, and calcification and rupture of the vasculature leading to premature death. |

>95% |
| Characteristic : |
The isoelectric point is 8.5. |
| Applications : |
SDS-PAGE; WB; ELISA; IP |
| Stability : |
The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37°C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition. |
| Storage : |
Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Store at 2-8°C for one month. Aliquot and store at -80°C for 12 months. |
| Storage buffer : |
Supplied as lyophilized form in 20mM Tris, 150mM NaCl, pH8.0, containing 1mM EDTA, 1mM DTT, 0.01% sarcosyl, 5% trehalose, and preservative. |
| Reconstitution : |
Reconstitute in ddH2O. |
