Description: The protein encoded by this gene is involved in the attachment of osteoclasts to the mineralized bone matrix. The encoded protein is secreted and binds hydroxyapatite with high affinity. The osteoclast vitronectin receptor is found in the cell membrane and may be involved in the binding to this protein. This protein is also a cytokine that upregulates expression of interferon-gamma and interleukin-12. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Osteopontin (OPN), a multifunctional phosphorylated glycoprotein, plays an important role in neutrophil recruitment and was found to induce the expression of proinflammatory chemokines including MCP-1 and MIP-1β which would promote migration and recruitment of inflammatory cells. It has been reported that OPN induces MCP-1 expression through the NF-kappa B pathways in MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. Briefly, MCF-7 cells were seeded overnight at a density of 1x10⁵ cells/ml, and treated with or without OPN(100 ng/ml and 200 ng/ml) for 24h and MCP-1 levels in the cell supernatant were determined by ELISA. MCP-1 levels in the cell supernatant of MCF-7 cells increased significantly after stimulated with OPN.
