Bone sialoprotein (BSP) is an extracellular matrix protein that has a highly restricted expression to mineralized skeletal tissues. The chicken bone sialoprotein-encoding gene (bsp) was isolated and shown to contain two less exons than similar mammalian genes, with the absence of an untranslated 58

Transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) increases steady-state mRNA levels of several extracellular matrix proteins in mineralized connective tissues. Bone sialoprotein (BSP) is a major constituent of the bone matrix, thought to initiate and regulate the formation of mineral crystals. To determine the
