CEMP1

CEMP1 (Cementum Protein 1) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CEMP1 include Coccidiosis.

Cementum Protein 1

May play a role in development of the periodontium which surrounds and supports the teeth by promoting the differentiation of multi-potent cells from the periodontal ligament into cementoblasts to form the cementum (PubMed:21929512, PubMed:17509525, PubMed:21465469).
Binds hydroxyapatite and may promote the biomineralization of the cementum (PubMed:19393626).
Also promotes cell proliferation (PubMed:17509525, PubMed:21929512, PubMed:26011628).
