Impaired Osteoblast Function in GPRC6A Null Mice
GPRC6A is a widely expressed orphan G protein-coupled receptor that senses extracellular amino acids, osteocalcin, and divalent cations in vitro. GPRC6A null (GPRC6A(-/-)) mice exhibit multiple metabolic abnormalities including osteopenia. To investigate whether the osseous abnormalities are a direct function of GPRC6A in osteoblasts, we examined the function of primary osteoblasts and bone mar...
متن کاملImpaired angiogenesis in aminopeptidase N-null mice.
Aminopeptidase N (APN, CD13; EC 3.4.11.2) is a transmembrane metalloprotease with several functions, depending on the cell type and tissue environment. In tumor vasculature, APN is overexpressed in the endothelium and promotes angiogenesis. However, there have been no reports of in vivo inactivation of the APN gene to validate these findings. Here we evaluated, by targeted disruption of the APN...
متن کاملImpaired megakaryopoiesis and behavioral defects in mafG-null mutant mice.
The small Maf proteins (MafG, MafK, and MafF), which serve as heterodimeric partner molecules of CNC family proteins for binding in vitro to MARE sites, have been implicated in the regulation of both transcription and chromatin structure, but there is no current evidence that the proteins fulfill these functions in vivo. To elucidate possible contributions of the small Maf proteins to gene regu...
متن کاملImpaired neutrophil function in 24p3 null mice contributes to enhanced susceptibility to bacterial infections.
Lipocalin 24p3 (24p3) is a neutrophil secondary granule protein. 24p3 is also a siderocalin, which binds several bacterial siderophores. It was therefore proposed that synthesis and secretion of 24p3 by stimulated macrophages or release of 24p3 upon neutrophil degranulation sequesters iron-laden siderophores to attenuate bacterial growth. Accordingly, 24p3-deficient mice are susceptible to bact...
متن کاملLactation Defect with Impaired Secretory Activation in AEBP1-Null Mice
Adipocyte enhancer binding protein 1 (AEBP1) is a multifunctional protein that negatively regulates the tumor suppressor PTEN and IκBα, the inhibitor of NF-κB, through protein-protein interaction, thereby promoting cell survival and inflammation. Mice homozygous for a disrupted AEBP1 gene developed to term but showed defects in growth after birth. AEBP1(-/-) females display lactation defect, wh...
