Bone Density Ligand, Sclerostin, Directly Interacts With LRP5 but Not LRP5G171V to Modulate Wnt Activity
29 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: We compared and contrasted the mechanism of action for the cysteine knot protein subfamily, Wise and Sost (Sclerostin). Our data suggest that functional interactions between Sost or Wise and LRP5/LRP6 have the potential to regulate bone deposition by modulating the Wnt pathway. INTRODUCTION: The human disease sclerosteosis exhibits an increase in bone mass thought to be caused by hyperactive...
