Background
Sclerostin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SOST gene. It is a secreted glycoprotein with a C-terminal cysteine knot-like (CTCK) domain and sequence similarity to the DAN (differential screening-selected gene aberrative in neuroblastoma) family of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonists. Additionally, Sclerostin is produced by the osteocyte and has anti-anabolic effects on bone formation. The SOST gene maps to chromosome 17q12-q21.
