Biosynthesis of salivary proteins in the parotid gland of the subhuman primate, Macaca fascicularis. Cell-free translation of the mRNA for a proline-rich glycoprotein and partial amino acid sequence and processing of its signal peptide.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1984
The major anionic proline-rich proteins in the parotid and submandibular secretions of subhuman primates and man perform the important biological function of inhibiting crystal growth of calcium phosphate salts from saliva, which is supersaturated with calcium phosphate salts, thereby preventing excess deposition of hydroxylapatite on tooth surfaces ...
