BNSP, Bone sialoprotein 1, bone sialoprotein I, BSPI, early T-lymphocyte activation 1, ETA-1, Nephropontin, OPN, Osteopontin, OSTP, Secreted phosphoprotein 1,
osteopontin Binds tightly to hydroxyapatite. Appears to form an integral part of the mineralized matrix. Probably important to cell-matrix interaction. Belongs to the osteopontin family. Ligand for integrin alpha-V/beta-3. 4 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Major non-collagenous bone protein that binds tightly to hydroxyapatite. Appears to form an integral part of the mineralized matrix. Probably important to cell-matrix interaction.
