Research Abstract	JunD is one of the transcription factor that regulate the bone metabolism. But the function of JunD in skeletal system is still not fully understood. To elucidate the role of JunD in the regulation of bone metabolism, we analyzed JunD by cytological and histological methods. And we reveal the part of the molecular mechanisms of JunD in bone.
