Reference sheet · Bone / Cartilage · CPC catalog code OSTP-008
Reference standards in the Bone / Cartilage class are typically shipped as lyophilized powder and stored desiccated at −20 °C protected from light. Once reconstituted in bacteriostatic water or the assay-appropriate buffer, aliquot and store at −80 °C to minimize freeze–thaw cycles. Confirm handling requirements against your institutional biosafety and radiation protocols before use.
Osteostatin (human) sits within the Bone / Cartilage research class (CPC reference OSTP-008). These peptides interact with bone- and cartilage-relevant receptors and matrix proteins — including RANK/RANKL, PTH1R, integrins, and collagen-binding motifs — modulating osteoblast, osteoclast, and chondrocyte activity in cellular and organ-culture models. Investigators typically incorporate Osteostatin (human) as a reference standard, tool ligand, or substrate in the assay contexts listed above. Commonly paired with ALP, TRAP, or Alizarin Red staining in cell-based readouts.
Osteostatin (human) (CPC catalog code OSTP-008) is a synthetic bone / cartilage biology peptide in the bone / cartilage category. It is provided as a lyophilized ~1 mg vial for in-vitro research use only.
Published and internal research programs use Osteostatin (human) as a reference standard in bone / cartilage workflows — for example, osteoblast / osteoclast differentiation assays and chondrocyte and cartilage-explant remodeling studies. Human clinical evidence is not established.
No. Osteostatin (human) is a research-grade reference peptide and is not approved by the FDA or any national regulator for human or veterinary therapeutic use. It is offered exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research and does not ship to the United States for consumer use.
In a bone / cartilage workflow, Osteostatin (human) is reconstituted in sterile buffer or DMSO (solubility-dependent) and applied in the researcher's chosen assay format. Commonly paired with ALP, TRAP, or Alizarin Red staining in cell-based readouts.
Other reference standards in the same class — commonly cross-referenced during assay design and comparator selection.
