Description of target: Osteomodulin (also called osteoadherin or osteoadherin proteoglycan) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OMD gene. This gene is mapped to 9q22.31. Osteoadherin (OSAD), also known as Osteomodulin, is an extracellular matrix keratan sulfate proteoglycan that belongs to the class II subfamily of small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRP). LRR motifs consist of approximately 20‑30 amino acids (aa) with conserved leucine spacing, folded into a structure with one beta -sheet and one alpha -helix. Human OSAD is expressed as an even larger 110 kDa molecule in teeth. OSAD contains eight sulfated tyrosine residues and is distinguished from other class II SLRPs by the presence of an approximately 70 aa C‑terminal acidic domain. OSAD is expressed by fetal and adult osteoblasts but is not detectable in cartilage or tendon. In dental tissue, OSAD is expressed by odontoblasts and ameloblasts and is involved in the mineralization of bone and teeth. OSAD promotes the adhesion of osteoblasts and odontoblasts to the surrounding matrix, an interaction that is mediated by Integrin alpha V beta 3.;Species reactivity: Human;Application: ELISA;Assay info: ;Sensitivity: <10pg/ml
