Osteopetrosis-associated transmembrane protein 1 (OSTM1) is a Single-pass type I  membrane protein. It is expressed in many hematopoietic cells of the myeloid and lymphoid B- and T-lineages. The analysis of OSTM1 association with CLCN7 demonstrated that OSTM1 requires CLCN7 to localize to lysosomes, whereas the formation of a CLCN7-OSTM1 complex is required to stabilize CLCN7. The researches found that OSTM1 plays a major role in myelopoiesis and lymphopoiesis and provided evidence of a crosstalk mechanism between hematopoietic cells for osteoclast activation. Thus, OSTM1 has a important role in osteoclast function and activation. The loss of function of OSTM1 results in deregulation of multiple hematopoietic lineages in addition to osteoclast lineage, OSTM1-defect patients display the most severe recessive osteopetrotic phenotype and die at early ages. Furthermore, it is suggested that OSTM1 has a primary role in neural development not related to lysosomal dysfunction. The canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway may be a molecular basis for OSTM1 mutations and severe autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (ARO).
