Description
Osteonectin (SPARC, BM-40) is a 32,700 molecular weight, Ca2+-binding glyco-protein which is a synthetic product of osteoblasts, endothelial cells, and megakaryocytes.
Osteonectin is involved in tissue remodeling both from the perspective of bone metabolism and endothelial cell proliferation and repair. Therefore, the quantitative analysis of this protein could serve as a useful marker for the researcher studying the biochemical processes.
