The UniProt recommended name is Osteoclast-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor (OSCAR). This receptor participates in osteoclast differentiation, bone resorption, and immune regulation by transducing activation signals through association with the Fc receptor gamma chain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFunctionally, OSCAR antibody identifies a 287-amino-acid protein containing two extracellular immunoglobulin-like domains and a short cytoplasmic tail. OSCAR acts as a costimulatory receptor on osteoclast precursors, promoting NFATc1 activation and osteoclastogenesis in response to RANKL and ITAM signaling. It also mediates immune cell activation, cytokine secretion, and antigen presentation in monocytes and dendritic cells.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe OSCAR gene is located on chromosome 19q13.4 and is primarily expressed in bone-resorbing osteoclasts, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Its activity links the immune and skeletal systems, contributing to bone remodeling and inflammation-associated bone loss.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePathologically, elevated OSCAR expression has been observed in rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, and periodontitis, where excessive osteoclast activation leads to bone degradation. Research using OSCAR antibody supports studies in bone metabolism, immune signaling, and inflammatory disease mechanisms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOSCAR antibody is validated for western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry to detect immunoreceptors involved in osteoclast and immune cell function. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStructurally, Osteoclast-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor contains extracellular Ig-like domains that interact with collagen and intracellular motifs that recruit signaling adapters via Fc receptor gamma chains. This antibody enables examination of OSCAR's role in osteoclast activation and immune crosstalk.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting protein-level changes to phenotype using orthogonal readouts (genetic perturbation, transcriptomics, imaging).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsidering isoforms and post-translational regulation when interpreting protein-level changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComparing results across species and model systems with matched controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern blotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e compare relative abundance and activation-state changes across conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eELISA:\u003c\/strong\u003e support antibody-based quantification in assay formats where applicable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterpret changes in signal alongside appropriate controls and, when relevant, in parallel with total-protein or pathway readouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal can reflect expression level, isoform composition, and post-translational state; interpret results in the context of your model system and stimuli.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies differences and sample matrices can influence epitope recognition; prioritize matched controls and orthogonal confirmation when feasible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntibody notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyclonal antibodies recognize multiple epitopes, which can broaden the epitope footprint and may increase sensitivity in some contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProt search — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb?query=OSCAR - NCBI Gene search — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=OSCAR - Ensembl search — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=OSCAR - Human Protein Atlas search — HPA — https:\/\/www.proteinatlas.org\/search\/OSCAR - PubMed (review) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=OSCAR+review --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 ug\/ml \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53047314350445,"sku":"FY13171","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_bc2cfbf5-1906-47bf-ae34-402e4f08d538.jpg?v=1782237095","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/oscar-antibody-osteoclast-associated-immunoglobulin-like-receptor-bha17136073","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
