Abstract
Isolated nucleic acid and amino acid sequence for osteoclast-specific genes and proteins are provided. Methods for using these osteoclast-specific genes and proteins in the detection and isolation of osteoclasts, in production of antibodies specific to osteoclasts and to identify agents capable of modulating osteoclast function and treating diseases linked to osteoclasts are also provided.
