Anti-DMP1 (Dentin Matrix Acidic Phosphoprotein 1, DMP-1, Dentin Matrix Protein 1) (Biotin)

DMP-1 (dentin matrix protein 1) is an acidic, 100-160kD member of the phosphophoryn family of extracellular matrix proteins. Mouse DMP-1 is found both intra- and extracellularly, where phosphorylated DMP-1 participates in bone mineralization. Secreted mature mouse DMP-1 is a 487aa proteoglycan. It contains multiple serine, glutamic acid, and aspartic acid residues, a GAG attachment site (aa71-72) and an RGD motif (aa350-352). Multiple cleavage sites exist between aa's205-253, creating multiple fragments approximately 37kD and 57kD in size. Mature mouse DMP-1 is 87% and 63% aa identical to rat and human DMP-1, respectively. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 0.5-2ug/ml, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Hybridoma: Myeloma cells with B cells from Balb/c mice.
