Abstract
Small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) represent the largest family of proteoglycans consisting of 18–19 members. They play diverse structural and biological roles by interacting with extracellular matrix components, growth factors, and cell surface receptors. One of the well-studied features of SLRPs is their structural control of collagen fibrillogenesis. Since fibrillar collagens are the structural basis for mineralization in bone, dentin, and cementum, such interactions may inhibit and/or facilitate mineralization. The ability to modulate specific growth factors can be used for effective mineralized tissue engineering. In this chapter, we will provide an overview of the basic structural and genomic features of SLRPs, their roles in collagen mineralization, cell signaling, and potential utility for mineralized tissue regeneration.
