The adaptor protein p62/SQSTM1 in osteoclast signaling pathways

Abstract excerpt

Paget's disease of bone (PDB) is a skeletal disorder characterized by focal and disorganized increases in bone turnover and overactive osteoclasts. The discovery of mutations in the SQSTM1/p62 gene in numerous patients has identified protein p62 as an important modulator of bone turnover. In both precursors and mature osteoclasts, the interaction between receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) and its receptor...
