SP7 Antibody / OSX

Transcription factor Sp7, also called Osterix (Osx), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SP7 gene. This gene encodes a member of the Sp subfamily of Sp/XKLF transcription factors. Sp family proteins are sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins characterized by an amino-terminal trans-activation domain and three carboxy-terminal zinc finger motifs. This protein is a bone specific transcription factor and is required for osteoblast differentiation and bone formation.
