Basement-membrane Protein 40, BM-40, Osteonectin, ON, SPARC

Secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC), also named as osteonectin or BM-40, is an acronym for “secreted protein, acidic and rich in cysteine”. Mature human SPARC shows 92%, 92%, 97%, 99%, 96% and 85% aa identity with mouse, rat, canine, bovine, porcine and chick SPARC. SPARC is the founding member of a family of secreted matricellular proteins with similar domain structure. It is produced by fibroblasts, capillary endothelial cells, platelets and macrophages, especially in areas of tissue morphogenesis and remodeling. SPARC is required for the collagen in bone to become calcified but is also involved in extracellular matrix synthesis and promotion of changes to cell shape. The gene product has been associated with tumor suppression but has also been correlated with metastasis based on changes to cell shape which can promote tumor cell invasion.

Approximately 32.7 kDa.

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

>98% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.

The ED50 as determined by its ability to inhibit the cell growth of Mv1Lu mink lung epithelial cells is less than 3.0 μg/mL, corresponding to a specific activity of > 333 IU/mg. Fully biologically active when compared to standard.

< 0.1 EU per 1μg of the protein by the LAL method.

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20℃. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
