  • Title: Serine phosphate, threonine phosphate and gamma-carboxyglutamic acid in normal and experimentally induced, pathologically calcified rat skin (topical cutaneous calciphylaxis).
    Author: Glimcher MJ, Reit B, Kossiva D.
    Journal: Calcif Tissue Int; 1981; 33(2):185-90. PubMed ID: 6783276.
    Abstract:
    The amount of non-collagenous proteins is increased greatly during the pathological calcification of rat skin experimentally induced by dihydrotachysterol (DHT) and Ovalbumin (topical cutaneous calciphylaxis). This is accompanied by an increase in the total amount and concentrations of protein-bound serine phosphate [Ser(P)], threonine phosphate [Thr(P)] and gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla), almost all of which can be extracted from the tissue and can be dissociated from collagen in 0.5M EDTA. The EDTA-soluble, non-collagenous proteins are rich in aspartic and glutamic acids, similar to the non-collagenous, EDTA-soluble proteins of bone, cementum and calcified cartilage, and quite distinct from those of dentin and enamel.
