osteoprotegerin

os·te·o·pro·teg·er·in (OPG),

(os'tē-ō-prō-tej'ĕr-in), Polypeptide suppressing osseous mineral turnover deficient in juvenile onset Paget disease. [osteo- + L. protego, protegere, to protect, + -in]

os·te·o·pro·teg·er·in

(os'tē-ō-prō-tej'ĕr-in) A secreted protein that inhibits osteoclast differentiation. [osteo- + L. protego, protegere, to protect, + -in]

osteoprotegerin (OPG)

A secreted protein which inhibits osteoclast differentiation. The cytokine TRANCE binds to osteoprotegerin. Recombinant osteoprotegerin has been used successfully to treat juvenile PAGET'S DISEASE.
