Product Specs

Introduction
Testican-3, also known as Spock3, is a heparan sulfate proteoglycan found in the nervous system. Part of the BM-40/SPARC/osteonectin family, its exact role in brain development remains unclear. Spock3 is known to inhibit the processing of pro-matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) by MT1-MMP and MT3-MMP. Its presence is primarily observed during the developmental stage of the brain.
Description

Product Science Overview

Introduction

SPARC (Secreted Protein Acidic and Rich in Cysteine), also known as Osteonectin or BM-40, is a matricellular protein that plays a crucial role in bone biology. It is one of the most abundant non-collagenous proteins in bone and is involved in various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and matrix assembly .

Structure and Domains

SPARC consists of three distinct domains:

  1. EF-hand domain: This domain is involved in calcium binding.
  2. Follistatin-like domain: This domain has unique properties and independent activity.
  3. Kazal-like domain: This domain also has unique properties and independent activity .
Function and Mechanism

SPARC is known for its regulatory role in extracellular matrix (ECM) mineralization, which is a key step in bone repair and remodeling. It affects the differentiation, maturation, and mineralization of osteoblasts, the cells responsible for bone formation . SPARC has a high affinity for type 1 collagen and hydroxylapatite (HA), which are essential components of the bone matrix .

Role in Osteoblasts

Studies have shown that SPARC bidirectionally regulates osteoblast mineralization in a dose-dependent manner. It influences the expression of various genes and proteins involved in bone formation, such as bone sialoprotein (BSP), osteocalcin (OCN), osteopontin (OPN), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) . Additionally, SPARC interacts with collagen and activates the P38 pathway, which is crucial for osteoblast function .

Recombinant SPARC/Osteonectin 3 in Research

Recombinant SPARC/Osteonectin 3 is used in research to study its effects on bone biology and its potential therapeutic applications. By using recombinant proteins, researchers can investigate the specific roles and mechanisms of SPARC in various cellular processes and disease models .
