Spp1 - secreted phosphoprotein 1

Enables extracellular matrix binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular ion homeostasis; cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; and neutrophil chemotaxis. Located in apical part of cell and cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; metanephros; reproductive system; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); biliary atresia; coronary artery disease (multiple); disease of cellular proliferation (multiple); and hepatitis. Orthologous to human SPP1 (secreted phosphoprotein 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
