Lipoprotein: a gram-negative cell wall component that stimulates bone resorption.

Lipoprotein (free-form) from Escherichia coli was shown to stimulate in vitro bone resorption in a fetal rat model system. The potency of lipoprotein in stimulating bone resorption was comparable to that of lipopolysaccharides from various bacterial species.
