Abstract

The third component of complement (C3) is a protein produced by osteoblastic cells in response to 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3. The bone C3 appears to be involved in differentiation of bone marrow cells into osteoclasts in concert with other vitamin D-dependent factors. Further studies are needed to understand the precise role of C3 in bone.
