MGP, is a protein involved in regulating calcification in the extracellular matrix, in particular in cartilage and arteries.
MGP is a vitamin K-dependent protein, and contains five to six residues of Gla, a Ca2+ binding amino acid requiring vitamin K-dependent gamma carboxylase for its formation.
It is found in human bone extracts, likely formed by COOH-terminal processing by carboxypeptidase B-like enzymatic activity.
Applications:Suitable for use in Western Blot.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilutions:Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
