Significance Osteoporosis is a major health problem worldwide, as the aging population is soaring. However, molecules involved in the regulation of bone remodeling are still incompletely understood. Nck (noncatalytic region of tyrosine kinase) is an adaptor molecule linking cytoskeleton and cell motility. We now identify that Nck regulates cell migration in vitro as well as in vivo and regulates bone mass via bone formation activity. Nck positively regulates repair of bone injury. This discovery provides a unique insight into the understanding of bone remodeling.
