Figure 2. Molecular signature of osteocytes.

Figure 2

The pattern of gene expression, changes as osteoblasts become embedded in the bone matrix and differentiate into osteocytes. The function of the different proteins is also shown. > indicate higher expression in these cells, compared to other cells of the osteoblast lineage.
