| Research Abstract |
We established expression profiles of N-linked glycans and glycosphingolipids during osteoclastogenesis. Among glycosphingolipids expressed on osteoclasts and these precursor cells, we identified GD1/ganglioside as a negative regulator of proliferation of osteoclast precursor cells.
