Sugar transporter Slc37a2 regulates bone metabolism in mice via a tubular lysosomal network in osteoclasts

Despite the importance of osteoclast secretory lysosomes in bone digestion, the proteins that regulate them remain ill defined. Here, the authors identify Slc37a2 as a secretory lysosome sugar transporter that is required for maintenance of skeletal bone mass.
