Abstract
⺠Thrombin-cleaved fragments of milk-osteopontin effect hydroxyapatite formation differently. ⺠N- and C-terminal fragments promoted hydroxyapatite formation and growth. ⺠A central fragment inhibited hydroxyapatite formation and growth. ⺠Binding to collagen or hydroxyapatite seed crystals modified these effects.
