Product details
Osteopontin in vitro ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of Osteopontin protein in dog plasma, serum and urine.
In this assay the Osteopontin present in samples reacts with the anti-Osteopontin antibodies which have been adsorbed to the surface of polystyrene microtitre wells. After the removal of unbound proteins by washing, the Detection Antibody, biotin conjugated anti-Osteopontin, is added and complexes are formed. Following a wash step, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugated Streptavidin is added and complexes are formed. After another washing step, the complexes are assayed by the addition of a chromogenic substrate, 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The quantity of bound enzyme varies directly with the concentration of Osteopontin in the sample tested; thus, the absorbance, at 450 nm, is a measure of the concentration of Osteopontin in the test sample. The quantity of Osteopontin in the test sample can be interpolated from the standard curve constructed from the standards, and corrected for sample dilution.

Biological function summary
Osteopontin affects cell adhesion migration and survival. It does not form part of a known large complex but interacts closely with its integrin receptors. Osteopontin modulates immune responses and aids in bone remodeling by affecting osteoclast and osteoblast functions. It is also influential in inflammation processes where it orchestrates the recruitment and activation of macrophages. The osteopontin function is significant in both physiological processes and pathologies marking it as an important protein to study in numerous biological contexts.
Pathways
Osteopontin is integral to both the bone remodeling and immune response pathways. It collaborates with proteins like osteocalcin and matrix metalloproteinases within these processes. In the bone remodeling pathway osteopontin mediates communication between osteoclasts and osteoblasts impacting bone resorption and formation. In the immune response pathway it coordinates with cytokines such as interleukin-6 to modulate immune cell activities. Its roles in these pathways indicate its multifunctional nature and its impact across different biological systems.
