BST1 Human

Bone Marrow Stromal Cell Antigen 1 Human Recombinant

Produced in Sf9 insect cells using a baculovirus expression system, BST1 is a single-chain polypeptide containing 267 amino acids (residues 33-293). A 6-amino acid Histidine tag is present at the C-terminus to facilitate purification. The protein has a molecular weight of 30.5 kDa, but due to glycosylation, it appears as a band of approximately 40-57 kDa on SDS-PAGE. Purification is achieved using proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Definition and Classification

Barium Strontium Titanate (BST) is a ferroelectric ceramic material that belongs to the perovskite family. It is composed of barium, strontium, and titanium with the chemical formula (Ba,Sr)TiO₃. BST is known for its excellent dielectric properties and is classified as a mixed oxide compound. It exhibits both ferroelectric and dielectric properties, making it suitable for various high-tech applications .

Biological Properties

BST is primarily studied for its physical and chemical properties rather than biological properties. However, its biocompatibility has been explored for potential biomedical applications. BST does not naturally occur in biological systems, and its expression patterns and tissue distribution are not applicable in the context of living organisms.

Biological Functions

BST does not have inherent biological functions as it is not a naturally occurring biomolecule. However, its role in biomedical applications, such as in sensors and diagnostic tools, can indirectly influence biological systems by providing accurate measurements and data for medical research and diagnostics .

Modes of Action

BST interacts with other molecules and cells primarily through its dielectric and ferroelectric properties. These interactions are crucial in the development of sensors and actuators. BST’s binding partners include various metal ions and organic molecules, which can influence its electrical properties. The downstream signaling cascades are not directly applicable to BST as it is not involved in biological signaling pathways .

Regulatory Mechanisms

The regulatory mechanisms controlling the expression and activity of BST are related to its synthesis and processing methods. Transcriptional regulation and post-translational modifications are not applicable to BST. Instead, the focus is on optimizing the synthesis process, such as the sol-gel method, to achieve desired properties for specific applications .

Applications

BST has a wide range of applications in biomedical research, diagnostic tools, and therapeutic strategies. Some of its notable applications include:

  • Sensors: BST is used in gas sensors, humidity sensors, and light sensors due to its excellent dielectric properties.
  • Memory Storage Devices: BST thin films are utilized in dynamic random-access memories (DRAM) and other memory storage devices.
  • Medical Ultrasounds: BST’s ferroelectric properties make it suitable for use in medical ultrasound devices.
  • Electro-Optic Materials: BST is used in various electro-optic applications, including modulators and switches .
Role in the Life Cycle

BST does not play a direct role in the life cycle of living organisms as it is an inorganic compound. However, its applications in medical devices and diagnostic tools can significantly impact human health and disease management throughout different stages of life. For example, BST-based sensors and diagnostic tools can aid in early disease detection, monitoring of health conditions, and providing accurate data for medical research .
