MEPE-ASARM Peptides Control Extracellular Matrix Mineralization by Binding to Hydroxyapatite: An Inhibition Regulated by PHEX Cleavage of ASARM

Hyp mice having an inactivating mutation of the phosphate-regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidases on the X-chromosome (Phex) gene have bones with increased matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein (MEPE). An acidic, serine- and aspartic acid-rich motif (ASARM) is located in the C terminus ... View More
