Osteonectin is a glycoprotein in the bone that binds calcium. It is secreted by osteoblasts during bone formation, initiating mineralization and promoting mineral crystal formation. Osteonectin also shows affinity for collagen in addition to bone mineral calcium. Some current research shows a correlation between osteonectin over expression and ampullary cancers and chronic pancreatitis. Osteonectin is an acidic, secreted extracellular matrix glycoprotein that plays a vital role in bone mineralization, cell-matrix interactions, and collagen binding. Osteonectin also increases the production and activity of matrix metalloproteinases, a function important to invading cancer cells within bone. Additional functions of osteonectin beneficial to tumor cells include angiogenesis, proliferation and migration.

Human Osteonectin (ON) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate SPOCK2 in samples. An antibody specific for SPOCK2 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anySPOCK2 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for SPOCK2 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of SPOCK2 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
