Abstract excerpt
Inactivating mutations of Phex, a phosphate-regulating endopeptidase, cause hypophosphatemia and impaired mineralization in X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) and its mouse homologue, Hyp. Because Phex is predominantly expressed in bone and cultured osteoblasts from Hyp mice display an apparent intrinsic mineralization defect, it is thought that reduced expression of Phex in mature osteoblasts is the primary cause...
