摘要: Porcine dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP), the most abundant noncollagenous protein in dentin, is critical for proper mineralization of tooth dentin. DSPP processed by proteases into 3 major domains: sialoprotein (DSP), glycoprotein (DGP), and phosphoprotein (DPP). There are at least 2 mRNA variants expressed from Dspp gene: one encodes full-length (DSP+DGP+DPP); other only DSP. The shorter transcript generated through use a polyadenylation signal within intron 4, immediately following DSP coding region (DGP DPP encoded exon 5). We fractionated DSPP-derived proteins dental pulp developing porcine incisors using heparin chromatography. was identified, but little could be detected any fractions. BMP-1 digestion extracted did not generate new bands on sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (indicating an absence intact DSPP), although the...
