Mineralization: It regulates the nucleation and growth of hydroxyapatite crystals, thus contributing to the mineralization of dentin and bone. Phosphate Homeostasis: DMP1 is involved in the regulation of phosphate metabolism by influencing the expression of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). Cell Signaling: DMP1 acts as a signaling molecule that can influence the differentiation and activity of cells involved in bone and dentin formation.
