Research Abstract |
We were enable to collect very high purity both periostin isofrom uniquely expressed in periodontal ligament (PDL-POSTIN) and full length periostin proteins (FULL-POSTIN) with adenovirus infection. Using these both purified proteins, we have found that affinity to Integrin αvβ3 of PDL-POSTIN is higher than that of FULL-POSTIN. These results suggest that PDL-POSTIN may have an important role in homeostatic mechanism and regeneration of periodontal tissue.
