Recombinant Human Fetuin-B

Fetuin-B (FETUB) belongs to the fetuin family, part of the cystatin superfamily proteins and comprised of 2 cystatin domains. Fetuin-B is found in a secreted form in the serum, it is expressed in the liver, tongue and placenta. FETUB regulates osteogenesis by inhibition effect on mineralization. Fetuins are implicated in a number of various functions, including osteogenesis and bone resorption, regulation of the insulin and hepatocyte growth factor receptors, and response to systemic inflammation. FETUB also has a role in oocyte maturation. Fetuin-B is essential in preventing premature zona pellucida hardening before fertilization, probably by inhibiting the protease activity of ASTL, which is a protease that mediates the cleavage of ZP2 and triggers zona pellucida hardening.
