abstract：:Hyperhomocysteinemia causes connective tissue pathology. Several theories on the mechanism of homocysteine toxicity in connective tissue are reviewed briefly. A possible new mechanism was revealed recently in the discovery of a reaction in which homocysteine thiolactone is converted to mercaptopropionaldehyde. The rea...

One of the clones (2PP) was shown to encode a PP denoted as dentin matrix protein 2, DMP2. We have now sequenced another clone, which appears to be bifunctional, or at minimum, has two distinct domains. The 5' regi...
