OstéopontineL'ostéopontine est une protéine d'adhérence du tissu osseux reliant l'hydroxyapatite aux cellules osseuses. Elle fait partie de la phase organique du tissu osseux et appartient aux protéines non collagéniques de la matrice osseuse. Son gène est le SPP1 (pour « secreted phosphoprotein 1 ») situé sur le chromosome 4 humain. Dans le tissu osseux où elle est abondamment exprimée, l'ostéopontine se localise au niveau des lignes cémentantes et de la paroi des canalicules et des logettes des ostéocytes (les cellules résidentes dans l'os).
