Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

- BACKGROUND
Application 
| WB |
|---|---|
| Primary Accession | Q62009 |
| Reactivity | Chicken, Human, Mouse |
| Host | Rabbit |
| Clonality | polyclonal |
| Calculated MW | 93 KDa |
| Gene ID | 50706 |
|---|---|
| Gene Name | POSTN |
| Other Names | Periostin, PN, Osteoblast-specific factor 2, OSF-2, Postn, Osf2 |
| Target/Specificity | Bacterial fusion protein equivalent to a 188-amino acid polypeptide from the C-terminal region of mouse periostin which is comprised of six small alternatively-spliced exons. |
| Dilution | WB~~ 1:1000 |
| Format | Affinity purified |
| Antibody Specificity | Specific for the ~93 kDa periostin doublet in mouse lung extract.Consistent with the fact that this antibody is made against an alternatively spliced region ofperiostin, this antibody recognizes only the largest two of the three forms of periostin recognizedon Western blots by the Pan periostin antibody (Cat. # 1622-PERI) and also shows a distinctivestaining pattern by immunohistochemistry (data not shown). The antibody works well forimmunohistochemistry on paraformaldehyde-fixed sections with a simple antigen-retrievalprotocol (incubate slides for 20 minutes at 90º C in 10 mM sodium citrate (pH 6.0)/ 0.1 %Tween-20). |
| Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Precautions | Periostin, C-terminal Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
| Shipping | Blue Ice |

Background
Periostin is a matricellular protein, i.e. an extracellular matrix protein that interacts both with other ECM proteins and with cell-surface receptors. Like many other matricellular proteins, the function of periostin is important both in embryonic development and in the remodeling of adult tissues in response to pathological insults. Periostin was originally isolated as an osteoblast-specific marker that functions as a cell adhesion molecule for preosteoblasts and is thought to be involved in osteoblast recruitment, attachment and spreading (Kruzynska-Frejtag A. et al., 2004). Periostin has since been demonstrated to be important in heart valve development and myocardial infarction because it promotes collagen fibrogenesis, inhibits differentiation of progenitor cells into cardiomyocytes and is essential in maintaining the biomechanical properties of the adult myocardium (Norris et al., 2008).
