Abstract excerpt
Osteopontin (OPN) is a secreted, arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD)-containing phosphoprotein proteolytically modified by members of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family. We previously defined the MMP-3 and MMP-7 cleavage sites in OPN and found increased adhesive and migratory activity of a pool of MMP-cleaved fragments compared to full-length OPN. In the present study, we performed mutational analysis of...
