23. Studies revealed that SPARC plays a critical role in regulating bone remodeling and maintaining bone mass and quality. The mechanisms by which SPARC influences bone formation, maintenance, and repair might occur through multiple pathways that include the regulation of procollagen processing and assembly in the bone matrix, crosslinking, mineralization, and/or osteoblast/osteoclast differentiation and activity.
