Dentin Phosphoprotein and Dentin Sialoprotein Are Cleavage Products Expressed from a Single Transcript Coded by a Gene on Human Chromosome 4

Abstract excerpt

Dentin is the major mineralized extracellular matrix of the tooth. The organic components of dentin consist of type I collagen (90%) with 10% noncollagenous proteins, which are also components of bone. Two dentin proteins, dentin sialoprotein and dentin phosphoprotein, have been shown to be tooth-specific being expressed mostly by odontoblast cells. In this study, we screened a mouse molar tooth library for...
