Additional Info
| Function | Bone protein that constitutes 1-2% of the total bone protein, and which acts as a negative regulator of bone formation. Functions to limit bone formation without impairing bone resorption or mineralization. It binds strongly to apatite and calcium. The uncarboxylated form acts as a hormone secreted by osteoblasts, which regulates different cellular processes, such as energy metabolism, male fertility and brain development. Regulates of energy metabolism by acting as a hormone favoring pancreatic beta-cell proliferation, insulin secretion and sensitivity and energy expenditure. Uncarboxylated osteocalcin hormone also promotes testosterone production in the testes: acts as a ligand for G protein-coupled receptor GPRC6A at the surface of Leydig cells, initiating a signaling response that promotes the expression of enzymes required for testosterone synthesis in a CREB-dependent manner. Also acts as a regulator of brain development: osteocalcin hormone crosses the blood-brain barrier and acts as a ligand for GPR158 on neurons, initiating a signaling response that prevents neuronal apoptosis in the hippocampus, favors the synthesis of all monoamine neurotransmitters and inhibits that of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Osteocalcin also crosses the placenta during pregnancy and maternal osteocalcin is required for fetal brain development. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Human OC (Osteocalcin) Antibody Pair (STJAP00177)
This antibody pair detects human Osteocalcin (OC), corresponding to UniProt entry P02818. Reactivity has been confirmed for human samples only.
The capture antibody is supplied unconjugated, while the detection antibody is biotin-conjugated. Both are mouse monoclonal antibodies supplied at 0.5 mg/mL, purified by Protein A or G, and formulated in PBS with 0.04% Proclin 300 and 50% glycerol at pH 7.4.
This antibody pair has been validated for use in ELISA. No other assay formats are specified in the product documentation.
Both the capture and detection antibodies were raised against recombinant human Osteocalcin protein. No additional immunogen region information is provided for either component.
Both components should be stored at -20°C for long-term storage. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided to maintain reagent integrity.
