REGγ is essential to maintain bone homeostasis by degrading TRAF6, preventing osteoporosis.

Primary osteoporosis, manifesting as decreased bone mass and increased bone fragility, is a "silent disease" that is often ignored until a bone breaks. Accordingly, it is urgent to develop reliable biomarkers and novel therapeutic strategies for osteoporosis treatment. Here, we identified REGγ as a potential biomarker of osteoporotic populations through proteomics analysis.
