Summary | The protein encoded by this gene is orthologous to the mouse osteoclast stimulatory transmembrane protein (OCSTAMP), which is a membrane-anchored cell surface receptor that promotes nucleation of osteoclasts. The mouse protein is also involved in bone resorption and osteoclast differentiation. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2017]. |
