Osteocalcin expression in the groove of Ranvier of the rabbit growth plate.
The biology of the growth plates of rabbits of different ages was studied using an immunocytochemical technique which localized osteocalcin. Immunoreactivity was observed in the cells of the groove of Ranvier. Other findings suggest that the groove is a separate structure from the cartilaginous physis and is the terminal end of the diaphysis/periosteum complex.
