Summary: This gene encodes a member of the osteocalcin/matrix Gla family of proteins. The encoded vitamin K-dependent protein is secreted by chondrocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells, and functions as a physiological inhibitor of ectopic tissue calcification. This protein also inhibits angiogenesis. Mice lacking a functional copy of this gene exhibit impaired differentiation of endothelial cells, reduced stature, and calcification and rupture of the vasculature leading to premature death.

Observations establish, for the first time, that MGP plays an essential role in osteoclast differentiation and function. The molecular evidence indicates that MGP controls osteoclastogenesis via modulation of the intracellular calcium flux and Src/Rac1 signaling.

We propose MGP as a strong candidate for the regulation of stiffness in glaucoma. MGP further illustrates the presence of a common function affecting key glaucomatous parameters in the front and back of the eye, and thus offers the possibility for a sole therapeutic target for the disease.

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.
