The aim of this study is to elucidate the physiological role of the bone formation potentiator contained in platelet. As a result, it became clear that this protein increase the activity of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), which is the cytokine induce ectopic bone formation in muscular tissue, in vitro and in vivo. Our findings suggest that this protein will become new medicine of bone formation.
