Transmembrane and coiled-coil domains 1 (TMCO1) is a recently identified Ca<sup>2+</sup> leak channel in the endoplasmic reticulum. TMCO1 dysfunction in humans is associated with dysmorphism, mental retardation, glaucoma and the occurrence of cancer. Here we show an essential role of TMCO1 in osteogenesis mediated by local Ca<sup>2+</sup>/CaMKII signaling in osteoblasts. TMCO1 levels were significantly decreased in bone from both osteoporosis patients and bone-loss mouse models. Tmco1<sup>-/-</s ...[more]
