Recombinant Anti-Periostin Rabbit mAb

Western blot analysis of Periostin expression in HEK293T (A), H1792 (B), mouse liver (C) whole cell lysates. (Predicted band size: 93 kD; Observed band size: 90 kD)
Immunofluorescent analysis of Periostin staining in Hela cells. Formalin-fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with the primary antibody in 3% BSA-PBS and incubated overnight at 4 °C in a humidified chamber. Cells were washed with PBST and incubated with an AF488-conjugated secondary antibody (green) in PBS at room temperature in the dark. Phalloidin - AF594 was used to stain Actin filaments (red). DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue).

Protein Information
Name	POSTN
Synonyms	OSF2
Function	Induces cell attachment and spreading and plays a role in cell adhesion (PubMed:12235007). Enhances incorporation of BMP1 in the fibronectin matrix of connective tissues, and subsequent proteolytic activation of lysyl oxidase LOX (By similarity).
Cellular Location	Golgi apparatus {ECO:0000250\|UniProtKB:Q62009}. Secreted Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix Note=Colocalizes with BMP1 in the Golgi {ECO:0000250\|UniProtKB:Q62009}
Tissue Location	Widely expressed with highest levels in aorta, stomach, lower gastrointestinal tract, placenta, uterus, thyroid tissue and breast. Expressed in the kidney (PubMed:21763681). Expressed in the lung (PubMed:22079858). 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.
