Abstract: Objective: Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is a small protein for the protection of vascular calcification. High circulating desphospho-uncarboxylated MGP (dp-ucMGP), indicative of poor vitamin K status, has been associated with renal dysfunction and mortality. However,… read more here.

Abstract: Background Vascular calcification is strongly related to the risk of mortality and cardiovascular (CV) diseases. In vascular calcification, matrix Gla protein (MGP), a small vitamin K-dependent protein, is an important mineralization inhibitor. Recent studies showed… read more here.
