Abstract

Currently available data describing the gene expression and regulation, secretion, distribution, and protein chemistry of osteopontin (OPN) all are consistent with the notions of this protein functioning as an inhibitor of mineralization and/or as a mediator of cell-matrix and matrix-matrix/mineral ...
