Summary |
The protein encoded by this gene is involved in the attachment of osteoclasts to the mineralized bone matrix. The encoded protein is secreted and binds hydroxyapatite with high affinity. The osteoclast vitronectin receptor is found in the cell membrane and may be involved in the binding to this protein. This protein is also a cytokine that upregulates expression of interferon-gamma and interleukin-12. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Protein Information |
|
Protein Name |
Osteopontin, SPP1/CALPHA1 fusion, early T-lymphocyte activation 1, nephropontin, osteopontin/immunoglobulin alpha 1 heavy chain constant region fusion protein, secreted phosphoprotein 1 (osteopontin, bone sialoprotein I, early T-lymphocyte activation 1), secreted phosphoprotein 1 variant 6, urinary stone protein, uropontin |
|
Function |
Binds tightly to hydroxyapatite. Appears to form an integral part of the mineralized matrix. Probably important to cell-matrix interaction.; Acts as a cytokine involved in enhancing production of interferon-gamma and interleukin-12 and reducing production of interleukin-10 and is essential in the pathway that leads to type I immunity. |
