Several homeodomain (HD) proteins are critical for skeletal patterning and respond directly to BMP2 as an early step in bone formation. RUNX2, the earliest transcription factor proven essential for commitment to osteoblastogenesis, is also expressed in ...

Runx2-I isoform contributes to fetal bone formation even in the absence of specific N-terminal amino acids. [PDF]
The Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) gene encodes the transcription factor Runx2, which is the master regulator of osteoblast development; insufficiency of this protein causes disorders of bone development such as cleidocranial dysplasia ...

The transcription factor Runx2 is under circadian control in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and functions in the control of rhythmic behavior. [PDF]
Runx2, a member of the family of runt-related transcription factors, is rhythmically expressed in bone and may be involved in circadian rhythms in bone homeostasis and osteogenesis. Runx2 is also expressed in the brain, but its function is unknown.

Local origins impart conserved bone type-related differences in human osteoblast behaviour [PDF]
Osteogenic behaviour of osteoblasts from trabecular, cortical and subchondral bone were examined to determine any bone type-selective differences in samples from both osteoarthritic (OA) and osteoporotic (OP) patients.

CTRP13 attenuates vascular calcification by regulating Runx2 [PDF]
ABSTRACT Vascular calcification is strongly associated with increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. C1q/ TNF‐related protein‐13 (CTRP13) is a secreted adipokine that plays important roles in the cardiovascular system. However, the functional role of CTRP13 in the development of vascular calcification has
