Osteocalcin, Bovine Bone

C₂₆₃H₃₇₂N₆₆O₈₂S₂

5834.29

Single chain vitamin K-dependent protein produced by osteoblasts. Osteocalcin purified from bovine bone. Binds to phospholipid vesicles in the presence of Ca²⁺ (K_d = 6 µM). Also binds hydroxylapatite. Possible role in bone mineralization, bone resorption, and bone formation. Note: Gla corresponds to γ-carboxyglutamic acid.
