PMCID: PMC1177853  PMID: 16742827

Abstract

Extracellular membranous matrix vesicles, which contain various phosphatases and appear to initiate hydroxyapatite formation in growth cartilage, were isolated and incubated with 45Ca2+ and shown to form mineral in the presence of ATP. There is enhanced calcification in the presence of serum and under alkaline conditions.
