Abstract

The present disclosure describes the C-type lectin CLEC11a as a bone growth factor. Clec11a-deficient mice showed reduced bone volume and mineralization, while bone resorption remained unchanged. Administration of recombinant Clec11a systemically promoted bone formation in mice at risk for osteoporosis.
