CEMP1

Description

The CEMP1 (cementum protein 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 16.

CEMP1 may play a role in the development of the periodontium, which surrounds and supports the teeth, by promoting the differentiation of multi-potent cells from the periodontal ligament into cementoblasts to form the cementum. It binds hydroxyapatite and may promote the biomineralization of the cementum. CEMP1 also promotes cell proliferation.

CEMP1 is also known as CP-23, CP23.
