In order to clarify the characteristics of crystal matrix protein (CMP), which exhibits a remarkable affinity for calcium oxalate crystals and may be important in stone pathogenesis, we have isolated CMP from macromolecular matrix substances of newly-formed calcium oxalate crystals. Purification of
