DPT Gene

DPT Gene: is an extracellular matrix protein with possible functions in cell-matrix interactions and matrix assembly. The protein is found in various tissues and many of its tyrosine residues are sulphated. Dermatopontin is postulated to modify the behavior of TGF-beta through interaction with decorin. Diseases associated with DPT include Commensal Bacterial Infectious Disease and Anisometropia.
