Four major non-collagenous bone proteins were localised by single and double immuno-
histochemistry during de novo mineralisation and bone resorption. Both osteopontin and …

The in vivo expression of fibronectin, type I collagen, and several non-collagenous proteins
was correlated with the development of bone in fetal and early neonatal rat calvariae …

Bone sialoprotein (BSP) and osteopontin, the major phosphorylated proteins of mammalian
bone, have been proposed to function in the initiation of mineralization. To test this …

Fetal rat calvaria cells plated at very low density generate discrete colonies, some of which
are bone colonies (nodules) from individual osteoprogenitors that divide and differentiate …

We investigated the expression of osteocalcin (OC), bone sialoprotein (BSP), osteonectin
(ON), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) during cell differentiation and bone nodule formation …

Bone sialoprotein (BSP) and osteopontin (OPN) are two phosphorylated and highly
glycosylated cell-binding proteins in bone. Both proteins bind to hydroxylapatite. The cell …

Osteopontin is one of a family of phosphorylated sialoproteins found in the extracellular
matrices of mineralized connective tissues. Solution studies from a variety of laboratories …

Osteopontin is a phosphorylated bone matrix sialoprotein, postulated to play a regulatory
role in biomineralization. The effects of a crude preparation of rat bone osteopontin and a …

The non‐collagen proteins of bone are a complex set of molecules that arise from local or
exogenous sources. Because bone mineral is an excellent adsorbent, many circulatory …

Osteocalcin, a major noncollagenous matrix protein of bone, dentin, and cementum, is found
in tight association with the calcium phosphate mineral phase of these tissues. This article …
