Figure 2 Structural domains of osteopontin. Purple circles: Matrix binding domains; pink hexagons: Calcium binding sites; Red pentagon: Heparin binding site. There are three integrin binding sequences: (1) Arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD); (2) Serine-valine-valine-tyrosine-glutamate-leucine-arginine (SVVYGLR); and (3) ELVTDFPTDLPAT. MMP cleavage sites (G166-L167; A201-Y202; D210-L211) are shown by red arrows. The thrombin cleavage site (R168-S169) is shown by blue arrow.
