Background	Osteocalcin, also known as bone gamma-carboxyglutamic acid-containing protein (BGLAP), is a 49-amino acid non-collagenous protein hormone found in bone and dentin, first identified as a calcium-binding protein in chick bone. Because osteocalcin has gla domains, its synthesis is vitamin K dependent. Osteocalcin is secreted solely by osteoblasts and thought to play a role in the body's metabolic regulation. In its carboxylated form it binds calcium directly and thus concentrates in bone. This antibody was generated by immunization of rabbits with Osteocalcin coupled to a carrier protein.
Synonyms	BGP; OC; osteocalcin; PMF1
