Phlpp1 is induced by estrogen in osteoclasts and its loss in Ctsk-expressing cells does not protect against ovariectomy-induced bone loss.
Prior studies demonstrated that deletion of the protein phosphatase Phlpp1 in Ctsk-Cre expressing cells enhances bone mass, characterized by diminished osteoclast activity and increased coupling to bone formation. Due to non-specific expression of Ctsk-Cre, the definitive mechanism for this observat...
