Proteins as Functional Units of Biocalcification – An Overview is a research paper published in Key Engineering Materials (2016). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.240. It has been cited 3 times, with 1 citing works in its 1-hop citation network.
High-throughput approaches such as genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics have led to the discovery of a larger set of biomineralization genes than previously foreseen. These gene lists are often difficult to decode in light of the current models of calcification. Here we overview the proteins available in UniProt (Universal Protein Resource), that were identified directly in metazoan calcium carbonate mineralized structures or known to have direct key-functions in calcification processes. Functional annotation of the protein datasets using Gene Ontology reveals that functions like carbohydrate binding, structural and catalytic activities (e.g. hydrolase) are commonly represented across the organic matrices.

Base Score Contribution
0.208
From this paper's citation signal
Citation Network Contribution
0.0319
From 1 citing papers with measurable signal
DataRank blends this paper's own citation count with the influence of the papers that cite it. Here, roughly 87% comes from its base citations and 13% from the citation network (1 citing paper contributed measurable signal).
Citers are pulled from OpenAlex sorted by cited_by_count:descand capped per paper, so when the cap binds we keep the highest-signal references and the score is reproducible across reruns.
