NCBI Summary for OPN
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.

UniProt Comments for OPN
osteopontin: Binds tightly to hydroxyapatite. Appears to form an integral part of the mineralized matrix. Probably important to cell-matrix interaction. Belongs to the osteopontin family. 5 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 4q22.1
Cellular Component: extracellular region; extracellular space
Molecular Function: extracellular matrix binding; protein binding
Biological Process: cell adhesion; decidualization; embryo implantation; extracellular matrix disassembly; extracellular matrix organization and biogenesis; osteoblast differentiation; positive regulation of bone resorption; response to vitamin D
