Abstract
Bone-associated proteins derived from bone of mammals, including mice and human beings, named OSF-6. The protein is the novel natural type mammal protein, which can play an important role in bone formation, and belongs to a group of transcription control factors. OSF-6 can be used as a therapeutic agent for bone metabolic diseases, and also as a diagnostic agent for bone metabolic diseases, since it may demonstrate a high organ specificity to bone.
