Background: Stanniocalcin 2/STC-2

Mouse STC-2 (Stanniocalcin-2) is a secreted disulfide-linked homodimeric glycoprotein hormone that is related to the STC protein. It is first discovered from corpuscles of stannous, an endocrine gland unique to bony fish (1-3). The 272 amino acid (aa) mature mouse STC-2 has an 86% homology with the human form. STC‑2 has been described as having a role in human adult height and is involved in the GIANT consortium (4, 5). STC-2 is expressed in a wide variety of tissues. It regulates calcium and phosphate homeostasis (1-3), enhances mesenchymal stem cell survival (6), promotes cell proliferation in cervical cancer (7), suppresses breast cancer cell migration and invasion (8), promotes osteoblast differentiation (9), and inhibits longitudinal bone growth directly at the growth plate (10). It is also a biomarker for cervical and lung cancers (11, 12).Fform
