Data implicate systemic metabolic dysfunction in the development of bone fragility in germline Mfap2(-/-) mice. Also, MAGP1 protein was detected in the Mfap2(Prx-/-) hematopoietic bone marrow, despite of its absence in osseous bone matrix and its transcript at both sites. This suggests MAGP1 from a secondary site may accumulate in the bone marrow, but not into the bone matrix, during times of regional MAGP1 depletion.
Title: Contribution of metabolic disease to bone fragility in MAGP1-deficient mice.
Findings indicate that the regulation of TGF-beta by MAGP1 is protective against the effects of metabolic stress, and its absence predisposes individuals to metabolic dysfunction.
Title: The extracellular matrix protein MAGP1 supports thermogenesis and protects against obesity and diabetes through regulation of TGF-β.
These studies provide support for increased RANKL expression associated with MAGP1 deficiency and provide a link to altered TGF-beta signaling as a possible causative signaling pathway regulating RANKL expression in MAGP1-deficient osteoblasts.

Site-directed and random mutagenesis demonstrated that a KLF sequence motif at -256/-270, an E-box at -222/-229, and a GC-box at -117/-125, are critical for the promoter function.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
