Abstract excerpt
Osteoclasts express high levels of a vacuolar H(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase (H(+)-ATPase) on the ruffled membrane which they employ to dissolve bone mineral by acidifying their site of attachment on bone. The factors that control amplification of H(+)-ATPase during osteoclast differentiation are poorly understood. We examined the expression of vacuolar H(+)-ATPase in a cell culture system in which mouse spleen...
