MeSH definition : A negatively-charged extracellular matrix protein that plays a role in the regulation
of BONE metabolism and a variety of other biological functions. Cell signaling by
osteopontin may occur through a cell adhesion sequence that recognizes INTEGRIN ALPHA-V
BETA-3.;
MeSH synonym : bone sialoprotein 1; sialoprotein i, bone; secreted phosphoprotein 1; sialoprotein 1, bone; bone sialoprotein i; sialoprotein 1;
MeSH hyponym : uropontin;
