Drug discovery of sclerostin inhibitors
Sclerostin, a protein secreted from osteocytes, negatively regulates the WNT signaling pathway by binding to the LRP5/6 co-receptors and further inhibits bone formation and promotes bone resorption.

B4GALNT3 regulates glycosylation of sclerostin and bone massResearch in context
Summary: Background: Global sclerostin inhibition reduces fracture risk efficiently but has been associated with cardiovascular side effects. The strongest genetic signal for circulating sclerostin is in the B4GALNT3 gene region, but the causal gene is ...

Anti-Sclerostin antibody inhibits internalization of Sclerostin and Sclerostin-mediated antagonism of Wnt/LRP6 signaling. [PDF]
Sclerosteosis is a rare high bone mass disease that is caused by inactivating mutations in the SOST gene. Its gene product, Sclerostin, is a key negative regulator of bone formation and might therefore serve as a target for the anabolic treatment of ...

Sclerostin and Cardiovascular Disease
The role of wnt signalling in atherogenesis raises the possibility that the wnt inhibitor, sclerostin, provides a natural defence to this process, and that anti-sclerostin antibodies might increase the risk of atherosclerosis and associated conditions ...

Sclerostin inhibition in rare bone diseases: Molecular understanding and therapeutic perspectives
Sclerostin emerges as a novel target for bone anabolic therapy in bone diseases. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) are rare bone diseases in which therapeutic potential of sclerostin inhibition cannot be ignored.
