    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition, comprising COTL1 as an active ingredient, for diagnosis of a bone disease or obesity. Downregulation of the expression of the COTL1 protein or a gene thereof inhibits the differentiation activity of osteoclasts to reinforce bone density, compared to a normal control, and to increase factors that induce articular inflammation and cartilage degeneration, causing a bone disease such as osteosclerosis or osteoarthritis. Thus, COTL1 protein or a gene coding therefor can be used for diagnosing, preventing, or treating a bone disease such as osteosclerosis or osteoarthritis. In addition, downregulation of the expression of COTL1 protein or a gene coding therefor exhibits an excellent effect of treating obesity by reducing body weight and body fat mass in high-fat diet obesity mouse models and suppressing hepatic fat accumulation and adipocyte sizes and can be used for diagnosing obesity. An inhibitor against the protein or a gene thereof can be used to effectively prevent, alleviate, or treat obesity.
