Octacalcium phosphate (Cat No.:M052174) is a biomineral. It is a precursor to hydroxyapatite, the primary mineral component of human bones and teeth, making it highly relevant in biomedical research and applications. OCP is known for its role in bone regeneration and repair, as it can act as a scaffold for new bone growth when used in synthetic bone grafts. Additionally, its biocompatibility and bioactivity make it suitable for dental applications and as a delivery system for osteoinductive growth factors in orthopedic implants.
