Osteopontin (OPN), is a secreted multifunctional glyco-phosphoprotein with roles in bone metabolism, immune regulation, tissue remodeling , cell survival, and tumor progression . Gene structure and chromosomal location identify OPN as a member of the small integrin-binding ligand N-linked glycoprotein (SIBLING) family that also includes BSP,BMP1,DSPP, ENAM and MEPE. Murine OPN issynthesized as a 294 amino acid (aa) precursor protein with a predicted 16 aa signal peptide and a highly unusual mature protein sequence, containing 68 acidic aa and 23 potential Ser/Thr phosphorylation sites. Although the predicted molecular weight of OPN is 31 kDa,phosphorylation and N- and O-glycosylation may allow it to appear as large as 75 kDa. Variability in post-translational modifications can influence the activity of OPN.

Background SECTM1 encodes a transmembrane and secreted protein with characteristics of a type 1a transmembrane protein. It is found in a perinuclear Golgi-like pattern and thought to be involved in hematopoietic and/or immune system processes. The predicted 248-amino acid K12 protein has the hydropathic characteristics of a type 1a transmembrane protein, which is defined by an extracellular N terminus and a cleaved signal peptide. The authors demonstrated that the K12 protein behaves biochemically as an integral membrane protein. Using immunofluorescence, they localized K12 to the Golgi. Western blotting showed that the K12 protein migrates as a cluster of bands at 27 kD. In addition, an approximately 20-kD soluble form of K12 is secreted by cells.

CA125 encodes a protein that is a member of the mucin family. Mucins are high molecular weight, O-glycosylated proteins that play an important role in forming a protective mucous barrier, and are found on the apical surfaces of the epithelia. The encoded protein is a membrane-tethered mucin that contains an extracellular domain at its amino terminus, a large tandem repeat domain, and a transmembrane domain with a short cytoplasmic domain. The amino terminus is highly glycosylated, while the repeat region contains 156 amino acid repeats unit that are rich in serines, threonines, and prolines.

The PINP molecule is similar to PIIINP consisting of three distinct structural domains: Col 1 is on the aminoterminal side of the molecule, while Col 2 and Col 3 are situated on the middle of the helically structured molecule (Kühn et al. 1982). The PINP molecule has a molecular mass of 35 000 and is cleared by scavenger receptors in liver endothelial cells (Melkko et al. 1994). PINP often occurs in circulation in two forms of different molecular sizes. One is identical to the trimeric authentic antigen (intact PINP) whereas the other consists of smaller forms of PINP, resembling a single domain of the proα1(I) chain of PINP and is probably a degradation product of type I procollagen or I pN-collagen. Thus, an assay of intact PINP rather than total PINP appears to be more sensitive in detecting changes in the rate of type I collagen synthesis (Melkko et al. 1996, Risteli & Risteli 1999).

Methemoglobin is a form of the oxygen-carrying metalloprotein hemoglobin, in which the iron in the heme group is in the Fe3+ (ferric) state, not the Fe2+ (ferrous) of normal hemoglobin. Methemoglobin cannot bind oxygen, unlike oxyhemoglobin. It is bluish chocolate-brown in color. In human blood a trace amount of methemoglobin is normally produced spontaneously, but when present in excess the blood becomes abnormally dark bluish brown. The NADH-dependent enzyme methemoglobin reductase (diaphorase I) is responsible for converting methemoglobin back to hemoglobin.
