Preferred Label : Romosozumab;
NCIt synonyms : Romosozumab-aqqg;
NCIt definition : A recombinant humanized immunoglobulin G2 (IgG2) monoclonal antibody directed against
sclerostin, with anti-osteoporotic activity. Upon administration, romosozumab targets,
binds to and inhibits the activity of sclerostin, a regulatory factor in bone metabolism.
This stimulates osteoblastic activity, increases bone formation and, to a lesser extent,
decreases bone resorption This may increase trabecular and cortical bone mass and
improve bone structure and strength. Altogether, this may decrease the risk of fractures.
Sclerostin, a negative regulator of bone formation secreted by osteocytes, inhibits
Wnt signaling and suppresses osteoblast development and function.;
