Description
Osteopontin (OPN), a secreted multifunctional phosphoprotein, is a member of the small integrin-binding ligand N-linked glycoprotein (SIBLING) family of cell matrix proteins and participates in many biological activities. OPN has been demonstrated to be closely related to the occurrence and development of many bone-related diseases, such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteosarcoma.1 Besides that, it functions as a proinflammatory cytokine and promotes cell-mediated immune responses, and also has protective functions such as biomineralization [20,22,23] and wound healing, and is also a strong predictor of adverse outcomes in patients with CVDs [30–32]. Thus, OPN is not only a risk factor but also a potential therapeutic target for CVDs.2
Enzyme Immunoassay for the quantitative determination of Osteopontin in human serum and plasma.
