The local calcification inhibitor matrix Gla protein in pseudoxanthoma elasticum
Clinical Biochemistry, 2008Recent studies have revealed the involvement of calcification inhibitory proteins in the pathogenesis of pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE).We analyzed serum concentrations of the calcification inhibitor matrix Gla protein (MGP) in a large cohort of patients suffering from PXE (n=101), 34 first-degree relatives and 67 healthy controls.

Functional Role of Matrix gla Protein in Glioma Cell Migration
Molecular Neurobiology, 2017Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive brain tumor subtype. Despite that metastasis of GBM beyond the central nervous system (CNS) is rare, its malignancy is attributed to the highly infiltration trait, leading to the difficulty of complete surgical excision.

BACKGROUND Matrix Gla protein (MGP) species are inhibitors of ectopic calcification in vascular diseases (VD) and osteoarticular diseases (OD). Among the MGP assays, we aimed to establish the reference interval for serum total MGP (tMGP) in healthy ...

The ability of des-gamma-carboxy bone Gla protein (dBGP) and des-gamma-carboxy matrix Gla protein (dMGP) to act as substrates for the rat liver vitamin K-dependent carboxylase has been investigated. An amino-terminal 'propeptide' is present on the intracellular form of BGP and is thought to interact with a recognition site on the enzyme.

Skeletal muscle development involves interactions between intracellular and extracellular factors that act in concert to regulate the myogenic process. Matrix gla protein (MGP), a well-known inhibitor of calcification in soft tissues, has been reported to be highly up-regulated during myogenesis. Our interest in the regulation of muscle satellite cells

Retinoic acid increases matrix gla protein in rat plasma
Nutrition Research, 1993Abstract The administration of retinoic acid to rats at dosages which achieve circulating levels of 1 μM or more causes a 40 to 50 percent increase in plasma levels of matrix Gla protein (MGP) within 24 hr. This increase is consistent with previous studies which demonstrate strong induction of MGP gene expression by 1 μM retinoic acid in several cell

Controlling Magnesium Corrosion and Degradation-Regulating Mineralization using Matrix GLA Protein.
Acta Biomaterialia, 2019Magnesium (Mg) alloys are embraced for their biodegradability and biocompatibility. However, Mg degrades spontaneously in the biological environment in vivo and in vitro, triggering deposition of calcium phosphate on the metal.
