Abstract excerpt
Numerous bone matrix proteins can interact with alpha(v)-containing integrins including alpha(v)beta3. To elucidate the net effects of the interaction between these proteins and alpha(v)beta3 on osteoblast function, we developed a murine osteoblastic cell line that overexpressed human alpha(v)beta3. Human alpha(v)beta3-integrin was expressed on cell membrane, in which its presence did not alter the surface level...
