Studies of the DMP1 57-kDa Functional Domain both in vivo and in vitro

Abstract excerpt

Dmp1-null mice and patients with mutations in dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1) resulting in autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets display similar skeletal defects. As mutations were observed in the last 18 amino acids of DMP1 in 1 subset of patients and as fragments of intact DMP1, a 37-kDa N-terminal and a 57-kDa C-terminal fragment, have been purified from bone and dentin, we hypothesized that the cleaved...
