For Research Use Only in the United States. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

The MicroVue Osteocalcin immuno***** measures intact (de novo) osteocalcin in serum. Intact osteocalcin may be useful as a biochemical indicator of bone turnover.

Osteocalcin (OC) or BGP (bone gla protein) is found exclusively in bone tissue. It is a 5800 molecular weight extrahepatic vitamin K dependent protein produced by osteoblasts. It contains three gamma-carboxyglutamic acid residues which are thought to be involved in calcium ion and hydroxyapatite binding. It accounts for 10%-20% of the noncollagenous protein in bone. While the in vivo function of osteocalcin is unknown, its affinity for bone mineral constituents implies a role in bone formation.

A Highly Specific Assay for Intact OC

  • Does not detect carboxy- or aminoterminal peptides
  • Requires tertiary structure for antibody recognition
  • Detects intact OC, not OC fragments released during osteoclastic resorption
