Osteocalcin or bone Gla protein (B.G.P) is the major non-collagen protein of the bone matrix. It has a molecular weight of 5800 Da and contains 49 amino-acids, including 3 residues of gamma carboxyl glutamic acid. Osteocalcin is synthesized in the bone by the osteoblasts. After production, it is partly incorporated in the bone matrix and the rest is found in the blood circulation. The exact physiological function of osteocalcin is still unclear. A large number of studies show that the circulating levels of osteocalcin reflect the rate of bone formation.
