The identification of Runx2 (runt-related protein 2) function has greatly advanced the understanding of skeletal development over the last 5 years. Runx2 is regulated transcriptionally and post-translationally through the activity of many identified factors, although, the physiological significance

## Abstract Runx2 is a master transcription factor for chondrocyte and osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. However expression of Runx2 (by RTโPCR), has been reported in nonโskeletal tissues such as breast, T cells and testis. To better define Runx2 activity in nonโskeletal tissues, we ex
