Product informations

Sclerostin is the protein product of the SOST gene and inhibits bone formation by regulating osteoblast function and promoting osteoblast apoptosis. Reduced expression of sclerostin can result in van Buchem disease, while a complete absence of Sclerostin results in Sclerosteosis. Our Human Sclerostin High Sensitivity (HS)ELISA is designed for the measurement of Sclerostin in human serum, plasma and cell culture (osteocytes and chondrocytes).
