## Abstract Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a major regulator of osteoclastogenesis, bone resorption and vascular calcification. OPG is produced by various cell types including mesenchymally derived cells, in particular, osteoblastic cells. Here we show OPG production by osteoblastic cells was stimulated
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a 30 kDa protein consisting of disulfide-bonded dimers of Aand B-chains. PDGF receptors are of two types, a-and @-receptors, which are members of the protein-tyrosine kinase family of receptors. The receptors are activated by ligand-induced dimerization, wher
