Abstract

Osteopontin (OPN) is an acidic phosphorylated glycoprotein found in many tissues and physiological fluids. OPN is known to possess multiple biological functions including bone remodeling, cell adhesion, cellular transformation and immunological mediation; these functions have been extensively reviewed (Butler et al. 1996; Sodek et al. 2000).
