MeSH definition : A highly glycosylated and sulfated phosphoprotein that is found almost exclusively
in mineralized connective tissues. It is an extracellular matrix protein that binds
to hydroxyapatite through polyglutamic acid sequences and mediates cell attachment
through an RGD sequence.;
MeSH synonym : sialoprotein, Integrin-Binding; bone sialoprotein 2; sialoprotein 2, bone; bone sialoprotein II; bone sialoprotein; sialoprotein, bone; integrin binding sialoprotein;
