Many tissues have a specific signal transduction system for endoplasmic reticulum (ER) dysfunction; however, the mechanisms underlying the ER stress response in cartilage remain unclear. BBF2H7 (BBF2 human homologue on chromosome 7), an ER-resident basic leucine zipper transcription factor, is activated in response to ER stress and is highly expressed in chondrocytes. In this study, we generated Bbf2h7(-/-) mice to assess the in vivo function of BBF2H7. The mice showed severe chondrodysplasia an ...[more]
