MEPE

protein-coding

matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein, the group of SIBLING family

Gene summary

This gene encodes a secreted calcium-binding phosphoprotein that belongs to the small integrin-binding ligand, N-linked glycoprotein (SIBLING) family of proteins. Members of this family are components of the extracellular matrix of bone and dentin and regulate bone mineralization. Deficiency of a similar protein in mouse results in increased bone mass. Mice lacking this gene are resistant to aging-related trabecular bone loss. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_020203.6. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Promotes renal phosphate excretion and inhibits intestinal phosphate absorption (PubMed:14962809, PubMed:19005008). Promotes bone mineralization by osteoblasts and cartilage mineralization by chondrocytes (PubMed:18162525, PubMed:19998030, PubMed:22766095). Regulates the mineralization of the extracellular matrix of the craniofacial complex, such as teeth, bone and cartilage (By similarity). Promotes dental pulp stem cell proliferation and differentiation (PubMed:22341070). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8K4L6, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14962809, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18162525, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19005008, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19998030, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22341070, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22766095}.;
