0031427 Abnormal circulating osteocalcin level

comment

Osteocalcin, also known as bone gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) protein (BGP), is the most abundant noncollagenous protein of bone matrix. It is released by osteoblasts during bone formation and binds with the mineralized bone matrix. Osteocalcin has an endocrine function, regulating glucose and lipid homeostasis.
