<i>Abcc6</i> null mice a model for mineralization disorder PXE show vertebral osteopenia without enhanced intervertebral disc calcification with aging
2021-11-20
Abstract excerpt
Chronic low back pain is a highly prevalent health condition intricately linked to intervertebral disc degeneration. One of the prominent features of disc degeneration that is commonly observed with aging is dystrophic calcification. ATP-binding cassette sub-family C member 6 (ABCC6), a presumed ATP efflux transporter, is a key regulator of systemic levels of the mineralization inhibitor pyrophosphate (PPi). Mutat...
