Cite This Product | Human Periostin/OSF2 PicoKine™ ELISA Kit (Boster Biological Technology, Pleasanton CA, USA, Catalog # EK0985) |
Validated Species | Human |
Application | ELISA *Our Boster Guarantee covers the use of this product in the above tested applications. **For positive and negative control design, consult "Tissue specificity" under Protein Target Info. |
Immunogen | Expression system for standard: NSO; Immunogen sequence: N22-Q836 |
Cross Reactivity | There is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins. |
Pack Size | 96wells/kit, with removable strips. |
Properties
Sensitivity | <10pg/ml *Sensitivity, or Lower Limit of Detection (LLD), is the minimum level of target protein the ELISA assay can detect. We measure 20 blank wells and if the O.D. value is 2 standard deviations higher than the blanks' average O.D. the sample can be deemed positive. |
---|---|
Assay Range | 156pg/ml-10,000pg/ml *This assay range is determined using common samples. For samples with low target protein concentrations, users can adjust the standard curve to extend the lower limit of assay range. |
Sample Type | cell culture supernates, cell lysates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA). *The above listed samples are the ones valided with the assay. If you do not see your sample of interest listed, as long as there is enough level of target protein present in the sample, this Picokine™ ELISA kit should detect it. **For protocol and tips regarding preparing your sample of interest, please check our ELISA sample preparation guide. |

Gene Name | POSTN |
---|---|
Protein Name | Periostin |
Molecular Weight | 93314 MW |
Protein Function | Enhances incorporation of BMP1 in the fibronectin matrix of connective tissues, and subsequent proteolytic activation of lysyl oxidase LOX (By similarity). Induces cell attachment and spreading and plays a role in cell adhesion. May play a role in extracellular matrix mineralization. . |
Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed with highest levels in aorta, stomach, lower gastrointestinal tract, placenta, uterus, thyroid tissue and breast. Up-regulated in epithelial ovarian tumors. Not expressed in normal ovaries. Also highly expressed at the tumor periphery of lung carcinoma tissue but not within the tumor. Overexpressed in breast cancers. . |
Sequence Similarities | Contains 1 EMI domain. |
Subcellular Localization | Golgi apparatus . Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix . Colocalizes with BMP1 in the Golgi. . |

*The typical data is obtained from Boster's internal QC result and for reference only. It may differ from the lab test results of the end users. It is more important that the user's lab test results reflect the same linearity demonstrated in the typical data than achieving exactly the same O.D. values.
