We previously isolated a family of bone-resorbing proteins from human cancer ascites fluid and established that the three purified bone-resorbing proteins were chemically and immunochemically related to each other and to alpha-2HS glycoprotein (alpha 2HS). After this finding we purified the normal human serum counterpart of these ascites proteins and studied its effects on bone resorption. The bone-resorbing properties of normal human serum alpha 2HS were examined in vitro over a wide dose range. This normal human serum glycoprotein had a biphasic effect on 45Ca2+ release from bone. More specifically, this protein stimulated bone resorption at the lower concentrations tested, with a maximum effect [treated over control ratio of 2.5 +/- 0.30 (+/- SE); P less than 0.01] at 40 micrograms/mL. In contrast, at doses above 40 micrograms/mL, a sharp decline in calcium mobilization occurred, with a return to baseline occurring above 80 micrograms/mL. These results suggest that serum alpha 2HS may participate in the regulation of bone metabolism in vivo.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
