Expression of SIBLINGs and Their Partner MMPs in Salivary Glands
1 Sept 2004
Abstract excerpt
Three members of the SIBLING family of integrin-binding phosphoglycoproteins (bone sialoprotein, BSP; osteopontin, OPN; and dentin matrix protein-1, DMP1) were recently shown to bind with high affinity (nM) and to activate 3 different matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2, MMP-3, and MMP-9, respectively) in vitro. The current study was designed to document the possible biological relevance of the SIBLING-MMP...
