Binds tightly to hydroxyapatite. Appears to form an integral part of the mineralized matrix. Probably important to cell-matrix interaction. Acts as a cytokine involved in enhancing production of interferon-gamma and interleukin-12 and reducing production of interleukin-10 and is essential in the pathway that leads to type I immunity. Partial recombinant protein corresponding to aa17-290 from mouse Osteopontin, fused to His-Tag at N-terminal, expressed in Yeast.
