OSTCP1


Description

The OSTCP1 (oligosaccharyltransferase complex subunit pseudogene 1) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 6.

OSTCP1 is a protein that is involved in the formation and function of osteoclasts, which are cells that break down bone. OSTCP1 is important for the proper development and activity of osteoclasts, and it helps to maintain the balance of bone formation and breakdown.

OSTCP1 (Osteoclast-associated transmembrane protein 1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OSTCP1 gene. It plays a significant role in the formation and function of osteoclasts, which are bone-resorbing cells. OSTCP1 is essential for the proper development and activity of osteoclasts, contributing to the maintenance of bone homeostasis. It is involved in the signaling pathways that regulate osteoclast differentiation, activation, and resorption.

OSTCP1 is also known as DC2L, OSTCL.
