Truncated human LMP-1 triggers differentiation of C2C12 cells to an osteoblastic phenotype in vitro.

Abstract excerpt

LIM mineralization protein-1 (LMP-1) is a novel intracellular osteoinductive protein that has been shown to induce bone formation both in vitro and in vivo. LMP-1 contains an N-terminal PDZ domain and three C-terminal LIM domains. In this study, we investigated whether a truncated form of human LMP-1 (hLMP-1[t]), lacking the three C-terminal LIM domains, triggers the differentiation of pluripotent myoblastic...
