title: [Regulation of bone mineralization by enzymes].
abstract: The enzymes, such as TNSALP regulate bone mineralization, and the mineralization inhibitor inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) plays a central role in the process. NPP1 and ANK increase PPi concentration in the extracellular matrix, while TNSALP hydrolyzes PPi. The analyses using knock-out mice demonstrated that NPP1 and ANK, and TNSALP are antagonistic regulators for PPi. Concerted regulation of PPi by TNSALP, NPP1, and ANK, leads bone mineralization to be regulated strictly.
