Blocking peptides are peptides that bind specifically to the target antibody and block antibody binding. These peptide usually contains the epitope recognized by the antibody. Antibodies bound to the blocking peptide no longer bind to the epitope on the target protein. By comparing the staining from the blocked antibody versus the antibody alone, one can see which staining is specific.

Research Backgrounds

Q9NQ76_MEPE_HUMAN

Function:

Promotes renal phosphate excretion and inhibits intestinal phosphate absorption. Promotes bone mineralization by osteoblasts and cartilage mineralization by chondrocytes. Regulates the mineralization of the extracellular matrix of the craniofacial complex, such as teeth, bone and cartilage (By similarity). Promotes dental pulp stem cell proliferation and differentiation.

PTMs:

Phosphorylated on serine residues in the ASARM motif (in vitro) by FAM20C; the phosphorylation is important for the inhibition of bone mineralization.

Cleaved by CTSB/cathepsin B; the cleavage is blocked by metalloprotease PHEX.

Subcellular Location:

Secreted>Extracellular space>Extracellular matrix.

Tissue Specificity:

Expressed by osteoblasts. Expressed by stem cells in dental pulp. Expressed by mesenchymal cells in dental papilla and dental pulp. Expressed in teeth, specifically in decidious dentin. Expressed in ondotoblasts. Expressed in salivary glands. Secreted from oncogenic hypophosphatemic tumors.

Subunit Structure:

Interacts (via the ASARM motif) with PHEX; the interaction is zinc-dependent.

Family&Domains:

The acidic serine aspartate-rich MEPE-associated (ASARM) motif is sufficient when phosphorylated to inhibit bone mineralization by osteoblasts and cartilage mineralization by chondrocytes by binding hydroxyapatite crystals during the mineralization stage (PubMed:15664000, PubMed:18162525, PubMed:18597632, PubMed:19998030, PubMed:22766095). It can also inhibit dentin mineralization (PubMed:20581062).

The dentonin region is sufficient to promote dental pulp stem cell proliferation (PubMed:15153459). It can also stimulate bone formation, osteoblast differentiation, and activate integrin signaling pathways (PubMed:15040834).

Belongs to the PF07175/osteoregulin family.
