Invented by Kaisa Ivaska-Papaioannou , Urpo Lamminmäki
Invented at University Of Turku

Info

Catalogue Number 157723
Applications IF Fn
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets osteocalcin - partially carboxylated with Glu at position 17
Synonyms Uncarboxylated osteocalcin, uc-Osteocalcin, uc-OC, bone gamma-carboxyglutamic acid-containing protein, BGLAP
Reactivity Human
Relevance Osteocalcin, also known as bone gamma-carboxyglutamic acid-containing protein (BGLAP), is a small (49-amino-acid) noncollagenous protein hormone found in bone and dentin. Osteocalcin is a bone-specific protein which contains three glutamic acid residues (Glu) that undergo post-translational gamma-carboxylation. Uncarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC) may participate in the regulation of glucose metabolism, thus measurement of ucOC could be useful in evaluating interactions between bone and glucose metabolism.
Host Human
Immunogen Human full-length ucOC peptide (1–49, Glu at positions 17, 21 and 24; C23–C29 bridge)
Subclass IgG1 kappa
Notes Adapted from Arponen et al Calcified Tissue International volume 107, pages 529–542(2020).
These ucOC-specific recombinant antibodies were selected from an antibody library by phage display. Four candidates were characterized - all linked in the above "Related" tab.
