Journal ArticleDOI
Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 Is a Counter-Regulatory Phosphaturic Hormone for Vitamin D
TL;DR: Data suggest that 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) is an important regulator of FGF23 production by osteoblasts in bone and may be to act as a counterregulatory phosphaturic hormone to maintain phosphate homeostasis in response to vitamin D.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of a Novel Extracellular Cation-sensing G-protein-coupled Receptor
Min Pi,Pieter W. Faber,George Mbella Ekema,P. David Jackson,Anthony E. Ting,Nancy M. Wang,Michelle Fontilla-Poole,Robert W. Mays,Kurt R. Brunden,John J. Harrington,L. Darryl Quarles +10 more
TL;DR: Reverse transcription-PCR analyses showed that mouse GPRC6A is widely expressed in mouse tissues, including bone, calvaria, and the osteoblastic cell line MC3T3-E1, and suggest that in addition to sensing amino acids, G PRC 6A is a cation-, calcimimetic-, and osteocalcin-sensing receptor and a candidate for mediating extracellular calcium-sensed responses in osteoblasts and possibly other
Journal ArticleDOI
GPRC6A Null Mice Exhibit Osteopenia, Feminization and Metabolic Syndrome
Min Pi,Ling Chen,Min-Zhao Huang,Wenyu Zhu,Brian Ringhofer,Junming Luo,Lane K. Christenson,Benyi Li,Jianghong Zhang,P. David Jackson,Pieter W. Faber,Kurt R. Brunden,John J. Harrington,L. Darryl Quarles +13 more
TL;DR: The overall function of GPRC6A may be to coordinate the anabolic responses of multiple tissues through the sensing of extracellular amino acids, osteocalcin and divalent cations.
Journal ArticleDOI
GPRC6A mediates responses to osteocalcin in β-cells in vitro and pancreas in vivo.
TL;DR: It is found that GPRC6A is a candidate for mediating the response to Ocn in the bone‐pancreas endocrine loop regulating insulin signaling, and intraperitoneal injection of Ocn stimulated ERK activity in the pancreas and increased serum insulin levels in wild‐type mice, but these responses were markedly attenuated in Gprc6a−/− mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Dictyostelium Developmental cDNA Project: Generation and Analysis of Expressed Sequence Tags from the First-Finger Stage of Development
Takahiro Morio,Hideko Urushihara,Tamao Saito,Yoshihiro Ugawa,Hideaki Mizuno,Motonobu Yoshida,Ryuji Yoshino,Biswa Nath Mitra,Min Pi,Tomihiro Sato,Keiko Takemoto,Hiroo Yasukawa,Jeffrey G. Williams,Mineko Maeda,Ikuo Takeuchi,Hiroshi Ochiai,Yoshimasa Tanaka +16 more
TL;DR: Using size-fractionated subsets of cDNA from the first finger stage, two sets of gridded libraries were constructed for cDNA sequencing and the ESTs represent approximately 40% of genes expressed in late development, assuming that the non-redundant ESTs correspond to independent genes.
