background

Matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein (MEPE) is expressed in bone and teeth where it has multiple functions. The C-terminus of MEPE contains a mineral-binding, acidic serine- and aspartate-rich motif (ASARM) that is also present in other noncollagenous proteins of mineralized tissues.MEPE-derived ASARM peptides function in phosphate homeostasis and direct inhibition of bone mineralization in a phosphorylation-dependent manner.

molecular weight

The protein has a predicted MW of 45.3 kDa. The protein is cleaved into 2 chains and due to glycosylation, it migrates to 45-60 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

available size

100 µg, 500 µg

Function
FUNCTION: Regulates renal phosphate and uric acid excretion (PubMed:26051469). Regulates bone mineralization by osteoblasts and cartilage mineralization by chondrocytes (PubMed:11414762, PubMed:12421822, PubMed:15843468, PubMed:22766095). Regulates the mineralization of the extracellular matrix of the craniofacial complex, such as teeth, bone and cartilage (PubMed:26927967). Increases dental pulp stem cell proliferation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9NQ76, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11414762, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12421822, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15843468, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22766095, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26051469, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26927967}.
Subellular location
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12421822, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18597632, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26051469}. Secreted {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9NQ76}.
Tissues
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in osteocytes (at protein level) (PubMed:12421822, PubMed:15221418). Expressed by chondrocytes, specifically in the hypertrophic zone of the bone growth plate (at protein level) (PubMed:22766095). Expressed in osteoblasts in bone (at protein level) (PubMed:11414762, PubMed:15221418, PubMed:18597632). Expressed by osteoblasts within the metaphysis (at protein level) (PubMed:15221418, PubMed:22766095). Expressed at low levels in white fat, brown fat, testes, brain and aorta (PubMed:12421822). Expressed in the craniofacial complex (at protein level) (PubMed:26927967). Expressed in odontoblasts, ameloblasts and in predentin during tooth development (at protein level) (PubMed:22042093). Expressed in the kidney (at protein level) (PubMed:26051469). Expressed in osteocytes in mandibular condylar cartilage and tibial cartilage (at protein level) (PubMed:26428891). Expressed in salivary glands (PubMed:15329369). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11414762, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12421822, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15329369, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18597632, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22042093, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22766095, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26051469, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26428891, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26927967}.
Structure
SUBUNIT: Interacts (via ASARM motif) with PHEX; the interaction is zinc-dependent. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9NQ76}.
Post-translational modification
PTM: Phosphorylated on serine residues in the ASARM motif; the phosphorylation is important for the inhibition of bone mineralization. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15843468, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18597632, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22766095}.; PTM: Cleaved by CTSB/cathepsin B; the cleavage is blocked by metalloprotease PHEX. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9NQ76}.
Domain
DOMAIN: The acidic serine aspartate-rich MEPE-associated (ASARM) motif is sufficient when phosphorylated to inhibit bone mineralization by osteoblasts and cartilage mineralization by chondrocytes by binding hydroxyapatite crystals during the mineralization stage (PubMed:15843468, PubMed:22766095, PubMed:26051469). It can also inhibit dentin mineralization (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9NQ76, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15843468, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22766095, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26051469}.; DOMAIN: The dentonin region is sufficient to promote dental pulp stem cell proliferation. It can also stimulate bone formation, osteoblast differentiation, and activate integrin signaling pathways. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9NQ76}.
