Anti-OSTN antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein osteocrin. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 133 amino acid residues and a mass of 14.7 kDa. It has been described to be a secreted protein. A member of the Osteocrin protein family, OSTN is a reported hormone that acts as a regulator of dendritic growth in the developing cerebral cortex in response to sensory experience. OSTN gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some OSTN antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. ELISA, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are common applications for these antibodies.
