Gene Information

human ... SOST(50964)

General description

SOST (sclerostin) gene codes for the protein sclerostin which is predominantly secreted by the osteocytes. The encoded protein is predominantly expressed in human woven and lamellar bone and mineralizing chondrocytes.
Sclerostin is a secreted glycoprotein with a C-terminal cysteine knot-like (CTCK) domain and sequence similarity to the DAN (differential screening-selected gene aberrative in neuroblastoma) family of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonists. Loss-of-function mutations in this gene are associated with an autosomal-recessive disorder, sclerosteosis, which causes progressive bone overgrowth. A deletion downstream of this gene, which causes reduced sclerostin expression, is associated with a milder form of the disorder called van Buchem disease.

Immunogen

SOST (NP_079513, 12-42)
This antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide selected from the N-terminal region of human SOST.

Application

Anti-SOST (N-term) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunohistochemistry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sclerostin regulates bone remodeling in presence of mechanical stimulation. It has an inhibitory effect on the activation of osteoblasts by inducing phosphorylation and degradation of β-catenin. It downregulates bone formation and induces bone resorption. Mutation in this gene causes hyperostosis and leads to Van Buchem disease or sclerosteosis. Increased bone formation and enhanced healing of bone defects are observed upon selective deletion of the SOST gene in mice model. Sclerostin, a glycoprotein, is involved in vascular calcification. It might be associated with cardiovascular disorders.

Physical form

Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide.

The dysregulation of cell fate toward osteoprecursor cells associated with most GNAS-based disorders may lead to episodic de novo extraskeletal or ectopic bone formation in subcutaneous tissues. The bony lesion distribution suggests the involvement of abnormal differentiation of mesenchymal stem

Sclerostin, an osteocyte-derived inhibitor of bone formation, is linked to mineral bone disorder. In order to validate its potential as a predictor of vascular calcification, we explored associations of circulating sclerostin with measures of calcification in 89 epigastric artery biopsies

The osteocyte expressed gene SOST encodes sclerostin, a potent negative regulator of bone formation and inducer of bone resorption. We have recently demonstrated that the human SOST gene is positively regulated in response to 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D

Osteocytes secrete the glycoprotein sclerostin to inhibit bone formation by osteoblasts, but how sclerostin production is regulated in osteocytes remains unclear. Here, we show that tuberous sclerosis complex 1 (TSC1) in osteocytes promotes sclerostin secretion through inhibition of mechanistic target
