Osteocalcin (OC) is a well-known protein related to bone, however, the role of F-box and WD-40 domain-containing protein 2 (FBXW2) in bone remains unclear. In 2016, the presence of FBXW2 in bovine periosteum was reported. In this study, double immunostaining was used to investigate the relationship between OC and FBXW2. FBXW2 showed tubular structures, and OC showed a similar localization pattern as FBXW2. Double immunostaining findings suggested that FBXW2 tubes were coated with OC. To the author's knowledge, this is the first study to reveal the interaction between OC and FBXW2.
骨钙素(OC)是一种与骨骼相关的知名蛋白质,然而,含F-盒和WD-40结构域蛋白2(FBXW2)在骨骼中的作用仍不清楚。2016年,有报道称FBXW2存在于牛骨膜中。在本研究中,采用双重免疫染色来研究OC与FBXW2之间的关系。FBXW2呈现出管状结构,OC呈现出与FBXW2相似的定位模式。双重免疫染色结果表明,FBXW2管被OC覆盖。据作者所知,这是首次揭示OC与FBXW2之间相互作用的研究。
