Heparanase = enzyme Problem: Is heparanase important in bone development? Hypothesis: If heparanase is overexpressed, then bone formation will abnormal.
One way to find out, make a transgenic (can be an animal or plant that has a copy of the original gene which can be passed to offsrping) mouse that overexpresses heparanase only in the bones
