Abstract

PFMG5 (Pinctada fucata mantle gene 5) was identified from mantle tissue of the pearl oyster, Pinctada fucada (P. fucada). Here we report that PFMG5 decreased osteoblast differentiation marker alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and the transcript levels of osteoblast differentiation specific marker genes in MC3T3-E1 cells. PFMG5 was identified as a new molecule inhibiting osteoblast differentiation.
