Abstract excerpt
In the search for new marker genes suitable to distinguish chondrocytes from osteoblasts and mesenchymal stem cells in culture, we have identified and characterized a novel gene called chondrocyte expressed protein-68 (CEP-68), harbouring an N-terminal leader peptide and an epidermal growth factor-like calcium-binding domain. CEP-68 defines a new family of proteins and complements collagen type II as a new marker...
