Hydroxyapatite (HAp)

Target: HAp
Molecular classification: Phosphate mineral, Apatite group

Overview

Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite and the primary inorganic component of bone and teeth. It provides structural hardness and integrity. While not typically considered a therapeutic target in the traditional sense, it plays a role in various biological processes and diseases, including bone health and cancer progression, and is used in biomedical applications.
