Characterization of bone morphogenetic protein-6 signaling pathways in osteoblast differentiation.

abstract：:A cDNA encoding Xlamin B1 was cloned from a whole ovary mRNA by RT-PCR. GST-lamin fusion constructs were generated from this cDNA by first creating convenient restriction sites within the Xlamin B1 coding sequence, using PCR directed mutagenesis, and then sub-cloning relevant sequences into pGEX-4T-3. Two expression c...
