Mice deficient in the chloride channel ClC-7, which is likely involved in acidification of the resorption lacuna, display severe osteopetrosis. To fully characterize the osteopetrotic phenotype, the phenotypes of osteoclasts and osteoblasts were evaluated. ClC-7(-/-) mice and their corresponding wild-type littermates were killed at 4-5 weeks of age. Biochemical markers of bone resorption (CTX-I), osteoclast...
