Reciprocal gene expression of osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor and osteoclast differentiation factor regulates osteoclast formation.

abstract：:Rab5 is a GTP-binding protein that is crucial for endocytic machinery functions. We previously identified L-plastin as a binding protein for Rab5, using an affinity column with constitutively active Rab5. L- and T-plastin are isoforms of a plastin protein family belonging to actin-bundling proteins that are implicated...
