Abstract excerpt
Tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) knockout (ko) mice manifest defects in bone mineralization that mimic the phenotypic abnormalities of infantile hypophosphatasia. In this article, we have searched for phenotypic differences between calvarial osteoblasts and osteoclasts in wild-type (wt), heterozygous and homozygous TNAP null mice. In vitro release of 45Ca from calvarial bones, with and without...
