Background

GPNMB belongs to the PMEL / NMB family; also known as Osteoactivin and Hematopoietic growth factor-inducible neurokinin 1 (HGFIN) ; is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is expressed in numerous cells; including osteoclasts; macrophages; dendritic cells; and tumor cells. It is suggested to influence osteoblast maturation; cell adhesion and migration. GPNMB protein acts as a downstream mediator of BMP-2 effects on osteoblast differentiation and function. GPNMB participates in bone mineralization; and functions as a negative regulator of inflammation in macrophages. Osteoactivin is expressed at high levels in normal and inflammatory liver macrophages suggesting a significant role in acute liver injury. The early-phase upregulation of Osteoactivin expression in the tubular epithelium in response to renal injury might play a role in triggering renal interstitial fibrosis via activation of matrix metalloproteinase expression and collagen remodeling in rats. Osteoactivin as a protein that is expressed in aggressive human breast cancers and is capable of promoting breast cancer metastasis to bone.
