The effect of bone matrix protein of osteonectin on de novo formation of apatite was studied
in a wide range of calcium phosphate solutions in the presence of collagen. In every …

Noncollagenous bovine bone proteins were obtained from EDTA-solubilized extracts of
adult bovine bone in the absence of denaturants. Native osteonectin was isolated from the …

Osteonectin is a 32,000 dalton bone-specific protein that binds selectively to both
hydroxyapatite and collagen. When osteonectin is bound to insolubilized type I collagen, the …

Osteonectin, an acidic noncollagenous protein of bone and dentin, has affinity to
hydroxyapatite crystals. Binding sites to hydroxyapatite of this protein were determined by a …

Osteonectin is a major glycoprotein of porcine and bovine bones and teeth that is found
associated with hydroxylapatite crystal surfaces. From the ability of osteonectin to bind …

The effects of the non-collagenous proteins; osteonectin, bone Gla protein and dentine
phosphoprotein, on the formation of apatite were studied in calcium β-glycerophosphate …

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 ability of noncollagenous bone proteins (NCBP) to inhibit calcium phosphate
precipitation in vitro raises the question as to the nature and the relative efficiency of such …

It was found that significant precipitation occurred immediately after calcium, at a
concentration as low as 2 mM, was added to a desalted solution of EDTA extract of adult …

There is increasing evidence that noncollagenous matrix proteins initiate bone
mineralization in vivo. Fibronectin, which is present during the early phases of …
