Osteocalcin is secreted solely by [[osteoblasts]] and thought to play a role in the body's metabolic regulation and is pro-osteoblastic, or bone-building, by nature.<ref name="Lee_2007"/> It is also implicated in bone mineralization and calcium ion homeostasis.

'''Osteocalcin''' is a noncollagenous protein found in bone and dentin.  It is secreted by [[osteoblasts]] and thought to play a role in mineralization and calcium ion homeostasis. It has been stipulated that osteocalcin may also function as a negative regulator of bone formation, although its exact role is unknown.


In August 2007, it was reported<ref>"[http://www.columbia.edu/cu/news/07/08/bones.html Research Shows Skeleton to be Endocrine Organ]" Columbia University News, August 09, 2007''</ref> that osteocalcin acts as a [[hormone]] in the body, causing [[beta cells]] in the [[pancreas]] to release more [[insulin]], and at the same time directing [[fat cells]] to release the hormone [[adiponectin]], which increases sensitivity to insulin.
Osteocalcin also acts on myocytes to promote energy availability and utilization and in this manner favors exercise capacity.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Mera P, Laue K, Ferron M, Confavreux C, Wei J, Galán-Díez M, Lacampagne A, Mitchell SJ, Mattison JA, Chen Y, Bacchetta J, Szulc P, Kitsis RN, de Cabo R, Friedman RA, Torsitano C, McGraw TE, Puchowicz M, Kurland I, Karsenty G | display-authors = 6 | title = Osteocalcin Signaling in Myofibers Is Necessary and Sufficient for Optimum Adaptation to Exercise | journal = Cell Metabolism | volume = 23 | issue = 6 | pages = 1078–1092 | date = June 2016 | pmid = 27304508 | pmc = 4910629 | doi = 10.1016/j.cmet.2016.05.004 }}</ref>

As osteocalcin is manufactured by osteoblasts, it is often used as a biochemical marker, or biomarker, for the bone formation process. It has been routinely observed that higher serum-osteocalcin levels are relatively well correlated with increases in bone mineral density (BMD) during treatment with anabolic bone formation drugs for osteoporosis, such as [[Teriparatide|Forteo]]. In many studies, Osteocalcin is used as a preliminary biomarker on the effectiveness of a given drug on bone formation.

Osteocalcin, also known as bone gamma-carboxyglutamic acid-containing protein (BGLAP), is a noncollagenous protein hormone found in bone and dentin. Because it has gla domains, its synthesis is vitamin K dependent. In humans, the osteocalcin is encoded by the BGLAP gene.[1][2] Its receptor is GPRC6A.[3]

Function

Osteocalcin is secreted solely by osteoblasts and thought to play a role in the body's metabolic regulation and is pro-osteoblastic, or bone-building, by nature.[4] It is also implicated in bone mineralization and calcium ion homeostasis. Osteocalcin acts as a hormone in the body, causing beta cells in the pancreas to release more insulin, and at the same time directing fat cells to release the hormone adiponectin, which increases sensitivity to insulin.[4]

Osteocalcin acts on Leydig cells of the testis to stimulate testosterone biosynthesis and therefore affect male fertility.[5]

Osteocalcin also acts on myocytes to promote energy availability and utilization and in this manner favors exercise capacity.[6]

Use as a biochemical marker for bone formation

As osteocalcin is produced by osteoblasts, it is often used as a marker for the bone formation process. It has been observed that higher serum-osteocalcin levels are relatively well correlated with increases in bone mineral density (BMD) during treatment with anabolic bone formation drugs for osteoporosis, such as Teriparatide. In many studies, osteocalcin is used as a preliminary biomarker on the effectiveness of a given drug on bone formation. For instance, one study which aimed to study the effectiveness of a glycoprotein called lactoferrin on bone formation used osteocalcin as a measure of osteoblast activity.[7]
