Sclerostin, encoded by the SOST gene, serves as a critical negative regulator of bone formation through its inhibition of the Wnt signaling pathway. This secreted glycoprotein, primarily expressed by osteocytes, has emerged as a significant therapeutic target in osteoporosis research and bone metabolism studies. Loss-of-function mutations in SOST result in conditions characterized by excessive bone growth, including sclerosteosis and van Buchem disease, underscoring the protein's essential role in maintaining skeletal homeostasis.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody against human SOST offers researchers the reproducibility advantages inherent to recombinant technology. Because the antibody sequence is defined and produced through controlled expression systems rather than traditional hybridoma methods, you can expect consistent performance across experiments and between lot numbers—particularly valuable for longitudinal studies or when establishing standardized protocols in your laboratory.
The antibody has been validated for immunohistochemistry applications, with demonstrated performance in paraffin-embedded human tissue sections. Validation studies conducted on a Leica Bond system using citrate buffer antigen retrieval at pH 6.0 have confirmed specific staining in human kidney and liver tissues at 1:100 dilution, with a recommended working range of 1:50 to 1:200 depending on your specific tissue and detection system. The antibody is also suitable for ELISA-based detection methods, providing flexibility for both tissue localization studies and quantitative analyses.
Supplied in a glycerol-based PBS buffer with Proclin 300 preservative, this affinity-purified human IgG1 format antibody is well-suited for researchers investigating bone biology, Wnt pathway regulation, and stem cell differentiation programs where sclerostin activity influences cellular fate decisions.
