Abstract excerpt
Regulatory mechanisms operative in bone-resorbing osteoclasts are complex. We previously defined the Ly-6 gene family member OIP-1/hSca as an inhibitor of osteoclastogenesis in vitro; however, a role in skeletal development is unknown. In this study, we developed transgenic mice with OIP-1/hSca expression targeted to the osteoclast lineage that develop an osteopetrotic bone phenotype. Humeri from OIP-1 mice...
