NCIt definition : Dentin sialophosphoprotein (1301 aa, 131 kDa) is encoded by the human DSPP gene.
This protein plays a role in the formation of dentin and in tooth mineralization.;
NCIt note : Dentin sialophosphoprotein is a precursor that is cleaved to yield dentin sialoprotein
(DSP) and dentin phosphoprotein (DPP, or phosphophoryn), which are the two principal
noncollagenous proteins in mature dentin matrices.;
