Dentin Matrix Acidic Phosphoprotein 1/DMP-1 Protein(C-6His) (recombinant human)

Protein Construction: Recombinant Human Dentin matrix protein 1 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Lys17-Tyr513 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Sequence: Lys17-Tyr513. Fusion tag: C-6His Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per µg as determined by the LAL method. Apparent Molecular Mass: 52-111 kDa. Protein function: Dentin Matrix Acidic Phosphoprotein 1 (DMP-1) is an extracellular matrix protein and a member of the small integrin binding ligand N-linked glycoprotein family. DMP-1 is expressed in teeth particularly in odontoblast, ameloblast, and cementoblast. DMP-1 is critical for proper mineralization of bone and dentin. DMP-1 may have a dual function during osteoblast differentiation. In the nucleus of undifferentiated osteoblasts, the unphosphorylated form of DMP-1 acts as a transcriptional component for activation of osteoblast-specific genes like osteocalcin. During the osteoblast to osteocyte transition phase, DMP-1 is phosphorylated and exported into the extracellular matrix, where it regulates nucleation of hydroxyapatite. DMP-1 mutations have also been shown to cause rickets hypophosphatemic autosomal recessive type 1 (ARHR1). Protein function: May have a dual function during osteoblast differentiation.
