A Chimeric Form of Osteoprotegerin Inhibits Hypercalcemia and Bone Resorption Induced by IL-1β, TNF-α, PTH, PTHrP, and 1,25(OH)2D3

Abstract Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a secreted protein that inhibits osteoclast formation and activity and appears to be a critical regulator of bone mass and metabolism. In the c...

Osteoprotegerin: A Novel Secreted Protein Involved in the Regulation of Bone Density

Tumor necrosis factor receptor family member RANK mediates osteoclast differentiation and activation induced by osteoprotegerin ligand

A receptor that mediates osteoprotegerin ligand (OPGL)-induced osteoclast differentiation and activation has been identified via genomic analysis of a primary osteoclast precurs...
