ABSTRACT however, much of the subsequent research utilized developing bones of hybrid, broiler-strain chickens because Matrix vesicles (MVs) induce calcification of the exceptional amounts of material readily available at during endochondral bone formation. Experimental very low cost. This has enabled direct biochemical analysis methods for structural, compositional, and functional of key components critical for elucidation of this highly analysis of MVs are reviewed. MV proteins, enzymes, complex system. Others, in order to overcome the problem receptors, transporters, regulators, lipids and electrolytes of insufficient tissue mass, have resorted to the use of are detailed. MV formation is considered from both rachitic rats. However, none of these experimental structural and biochemical perspectives. Confocal imaging approaches is necessarily ideal. In comparison to the of Ca2+ and H+ were used to depict how living mouse, the human skeleton is massive, over one-thousand chondrocytes form MVs. Biochemical studies revealed that times larger, and it lasts over one-hundred times longer. coordinated mitochondrial Ca2+ and Pi metabolism produce Thus, it is doubtful that mineral formation in a diminutive MVs containing a nucleational complex (NC) of vertebrate like the mouse is entirely analogous to that in amorphous calcium phosphate, phosphatidylserine and humans. On the other hand, the extreme demands for rapid annexin A5 – all critical to the mechanism of mineral growth and mineralization of bone in the broiler-strain nucleation. Reconstitution of the NC and modeling with chicken may well require specialized features that are not unilamellar vesicles reveal how the NC transforms into required for skeletal development of the mouse – or the octacalcium phosphate, regulated by Mg2+, Zn2+ and human – except perhaps during the pubertal growth spurt. annexin A5.
