Name the proteins used in oteoblast
Some of these proteins include fibronectin, thrombospondin, osteopontin and osteoadherin (most of them have RGD cell binding peptide for binding; RGD refers to Arginine-Glycine- Aspartic Acid amino acid sequence) . After attachment the osteoblasts need to proliferate. The stimuli for this process include the cytokines and growth factors (platelet derived growth factor, insulin derived growth factors, Fibroblastic growth factors, transforming growth factor Beta) present around the cells and the hormones in circulation.
