Inhibition of osteopontin expression in mammary epithelial cells alters mammary gland morphogenesis

The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an important role in mammary gland development and function. Osteopontin (OPN), a secreted glycophosphoprotein, with several functional and structural properties of ECM proteins, is expressed at elevated levels during normal and pathologic development of the mamm...
