products description :
Intended Uses: Immunoenzymetric assay for the determination of intact human Osteocalcin in serum. For Research Use Only - Not for Use in Diagnostic Procedures. Principle of the Assay The Osteocalcin human ELISA is a solid phase Enzyme Amplified Sensitivity Immunoassay performed on breakable microtiterplates. The assay uses monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) directed against distinct epitopes of human osteocalcin. Calibrators and samples react with the capture monoclonal antibody (MAb 1) coated on microtiter well and with a monoclonal antibody (MAb 2) labelled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP). After an incubation period allowing the formation of a sandwich: coated MAb 1 - human osteocalcin - MAb 2 - HRP, the microtiterplate is washed to remove unbound enzyme labelled antibody. Bound enzyme-labelled antibody is measured through a chromogenic reaction. Chromogenic solution (TMB ready for use) is added and incubated. The reaction is stopped with the addition of Stop Solution and the microtiterplate is then read at the appropriate wavelength. The amount of substrate turnover is determined colourimetrically by measuring the absorbance, which is proportional to the osteocalcin concentration. A calibration curve is plotted and osteocalcin concentration in samples is determined by interpolation from the calibration curve.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a highly abundant bone protein secreted by osteoblasts that regulates bone remodeling and energy metabolism. The encoded protein contains a Gla (gamma carboxyglutamate) domain, which functions in binding to calcium and hydroxyapatite, the mineral component of bone. Serum osteocalcin levels may be negatively correlated with metabolic syndrome. Read-through transcription exists between this gene and the neighboring upstream gene, PMF1 (polyamine-modulated factor 1), but the encoded protein only shows sequence identity with the upstream gene product.
