Roy M, Nishimoto S, Rho J, Bhattacharya S, Pharr G
J Mater Sci Mater Med . 2004 Sep; 12(8):699-702. PMID: 15348241
This study examined the spatial distribution of selected biochemical and mechanical properties along the length of carp rib bone. Carp rib bone was chosen because of its unusually high osteocalcin...

Roy M, Nishimoto S
Bone . 2002 Aug; 31(2):296-302. PMID: 12151082
Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is an inhibitor of mineralization found in bone, cartilage, developing tissues, smooth muscle, and atherosclerotic plaques. MGP interaction with hydroxyapatite (HA) has been inferred by its...

Roy M, Nishimoto S, Rho J, Bhattacharya S, Lin J, Pharr G
J Biomed Mater Res . 2001 Jun; 54(4):547-53. PMID: 11426600
Osteocalcin is one of the most abundant noncollagenous proteins in bone. It is strongly associated with the mineral phase of bone, and has long been associated as a marker of...

NOVAK J, Judkins M, Chernin M, Cassoni P, Bussolati G, Nitche J, et al.
Cancer Res . 2000 Jul; 60(13):3470-6. PMID: 10910058
We have previously described the presence of the functional plasminogen activator system on the surfaces of bone neoplastic cells and the fact that plasmin specifically cleaves bone matrix protein osteocalcin...

Kuykindoll R, Nishimura H, Thomason D, Nishimoto S
J Exp Biol . 1999 Dec; 203(Pt 2):273-82. PMID: 10607537
Fowl show spontaneous elevation of blood pressure and neointimal plaque formation in the abdominal aorta at young ages. A similar neointima can be induced by a balloon-catheter-induced endothelium injury to...

NOVAK J, Hayes J, Nishimoto S
J Bone Miner Res . 1997 Jul; 12(7):1035-42. PMID: 9200002
Plasmin cleaves osteocalcin at a site within its carboxyl end, thus creating an N-midterminal 1-43 and a short C-terminal 44-49 peptides. The products of the cleavage were identified by matrix...

Zhao J, Nishimoto S
Matrix Biol . 1996 Jul; 15(2):131-40. PMID: 8837014
Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is a vitamin K-dependent extracellular matrix protein with a wide tissue distribution. Developmental expression of the MGP gene is characterized by competitive RT-PCR in kidney and...

Zhao J, Araki N, Nishimoto S
Gene . 1995 Apr; 155(2):159-65. PMID: 7721085
Matrix Gla (gamma-carboxyglutamic acid) protein (MGP) is a vitamin-K-dependent extracellular matrix protein. A method was developed to quantitate MGP mRNA based on competitive polymerase chain reaction following reverse transcription (competitive...

Thiede M, Smock S, Petersen D, Grasser W, Thompson D, Nishimoto S
Endocrinology . 1994 Sep; 135(3):929-37. PMID: 8070388
Osteocalcin (Oc), an abundant gamma-carboxylated protein (mol wt, 5800) of bone matrix, is used as a serum marker of bone turnover because it is considered to be uniquely synthesized by...
