Abstract excerpt
Bone sialoprotein (BSP) is a phosphorylated and sulphated glycoprotein with hydroxyapatite nucleating properties that is specifically expressed in association with physiological and pathological mineralization. Although previous studies have indicated that tissue-specific expression of murine BSP is regulated through a proximal homeodomain element that binds distalless5 (Dlx5) transcription analysis of the...
