Catalogue Number | 157724 |
Applications | IF Fn |
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets | osteocalcin - partially carboxylated with Glu at position 17 and 21 |

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. |
