1 Possible role of osteopontin in deposition of calcium phosphate in human pilomatricomas. calcium phosphate secreted phosphoprotein 1 Homo sapiens
2 Because osteopontin is believed to be involved in the deposition of calcium phosphate in bones, we asked whether osteopontin messenger RNA also is expressed in pilomatricomas. calcium phosphate secreted phosphoprotein 1 Canis lupus familiaris
3 Immunohistochemistry of anti-human osteopontin antibodies revealed that the localization of osteopontin protein was consistent with that of calcium phosphate. calcium phosphate secreted phosphoprotein 1 Canis lupus familiaris
4 The present results suggest that osteopontin produced by macrophages may play a significant role in the deposition of calcium phosphate in the shadow cell nests of pilomatricomas. calcium phosphate secreted phosphoprotein 1 Canis lupus familiaris
