Abstract excerpt
To determine whether protein phosphatases can affect bone regulation, we examined the effects of okadaic acid (OA) and calyculin A (CA), specific inhibitors of protein phosphatases type 1 and type 2A, on alkaline phosphatase activity of mouse osteoblastic cells. Clone MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured with varying concentrations of OA and CA. OA and CA stimulated alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in the cells in...
