Homer proteins modulate RANKL-induced NFATc1 signaling in osteoclast differentiation and bone metabolism

Yang Yu-Mi , Son Aran , Kang Jung Yun , Shin Dong Min

Ca2+ signaling and NFATc1 activation are essential for RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation through the induction of Ca2+ oscillation, calcineurin activation, and translocation of NFATc1 into the nucleus. Homer proteins are scaffold proteins that have been proposed to modulate multiple Ca2+ signaling proteins, including inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptors, ryanodine receptors, transient receptor potential channels. In this study, we inves...
