Abstract excerpt
Wnt signaling through the low-density lipoprotein-related receptor 5 (Lrp5) coreceptor regulates osteoblast maturation, matrix mineralization, and intermediary metabolism. In the mature osteoblast, signals downstream of Lrp5 are required for normal long-chain fatty acid β-oxidation. Mice rendered deficient for this coreceptor in osteoblasts and osteocytes accumulate body fat with elevated serum lipid levels but...
