Abstract excerpt
Secreted phosphoprotein 24 kDa (spp24) is a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)/transforming growth factor-β cytokine-binding protein. The spp24 BMP-2-binding/transforming growth factor receptor II homology-1 (TRH1) domain is a highly conserved N-to-C terminally disulfide-bonded 19-amino acid residue loop similar to those in fetuin and the BMP receptor II. TRH1 domains exhibit a characteristic BTB or β-pleated...
