Determination of amino acid sequence responsible for suppression of bone resorption by serum calcium-decreasing factor (caldecrin).

Abstract excerpt

We previously reported on the serum calcium-decreasing activity of recombinant protein factor referred to as caldecrin [Tomomura et al. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 30315-30321]. To address the mechanism of this serum calcium-decreasing activity, we investigated the effect of rat caldecrin on osteoclastic bone-resorbing activity. Wild-type caldecrin suppressed resorption pit formation by osteoclast on a dentine...
