Lumenal calcification and microvasculopathy in fetuin-A-deficient mice lead to multiple organ morbidity.

Lumenal calcification and microvasculopathy in fetuin-A-deficient mice lead to multiple organ morbidity.

The plasma protein fetuin-A mediates the formation of protein-mineral colloids known as calciprotein particles (CPP)-rapid clearance of these CPP by the reticuloendothelial system prevents errant mineral precipitation and therefore pathological mineralization (calcification). The mutant mouse strain...
