Historical Background

The protein product of gene Spp1 is known by many names; however, osteopontin (OPN) is the most widely used and preferred. Osteopontin was first identified in osteoblasts and is primarily known for its role in bone mineralization, hence derives the name “osteo” for bone and pontin from “pons”- bridge in Latin. Orthologous gene analysis of Spp1 gene indicates that it is found in 39 eukaryotic genera. In humans, OPN is expressed in many organs and plays an important role in many cellular, physiological, immunological, and...
