| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in tooth particularly in odontoblast, ameloblast and cementoblast. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated in the cytosol and extracellular matrix and unphosphorylated in the nucleus. Phosphorylation is necessary for nucleocytoplasmic transport and may be catalyzed by a nuclear isoform of CK2 and can be augmented by calcium. Phosphorylated (in vitro) by FAM20C in the extracellular medium at sites within the S-x-E/pS motif. |
| Function | May have a dual function during osteoblast differentiation. In the nucleus of undifferentiated osteoblasts, unphosphorylated form acts as a transcriptional component for activation of osteoblast-specific genes like osteocalcin. During the osteoblast to osteocyte transition phase it is phosphorylated and exported into the extracellular matrix, where it regulates nucleation of hydroxyapatite. |
