Abstract excerpt
TRACP is a lysosomal enzyme found in diverse tissues, where it is expressed in dendritic cells as well as osteoclasts and macrophages. To investigate the function of TRACP in vivo, we have generated mice in which the gene-encoding TRACP has been selectively disrupted by targeted homologous recombination in murine embryonic stem cells. Homozygous TRACP "knockout" mice have progressive foreshortening and deformity...
