V-ATPase a3-d2 and a3-B2 Subunit Interaction in Osteoclasts are Viable Targets for Anti-resorptive Therapeutics

For bone resorption, vacuolar-type H+-ATPases (V-ATPases) on the plasma membranes of osteoclasts acidifies the extracellular millieu adjacent to the bone surface. The V-ATPase a3 and d2 subunits are enriched in osteoclasts. B2 subunit is also expressed on the osteoclast plasma membrane. Disruption...
