Osteocalcin (Bone Gla protein) (BGP) (Gamma-carboxyglutamic acid-containing protein)

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.

Function:Constitutes 1-2% of the total bone protein. It binds strongly to apatite and calcium.,Function:Part of the MIS12 complex which is required for normal chromosome alignment and segregation and kinetochore formation during mitosis. May act as a cotranscription partner of NFE2L2 involved in regulation of polyamine-induced transcription of SSAT.,induction:By polyamine analogs in analog-sensitive H157 cells.,online information:Osteocalcin entry,PTM:Gamma-carboxyglutamate residues are formed by vitamin K dependent carboxylation. These residues are essential for the binding of calcium.,similarity:Belongs to the osteocalcin/matrix Gla protein family.,similarity:Contains 1 Gla (gamma-carboxy-glutamate) domain.,subcellular location:Associated with the kinetochore.,subunit:Component of the MIS12 complex composed of MIS12, DSN1, NSL1 and PMF1. Interacts with COPS7A. Interacts via its coiled-coil domain with the leucine-zipper domain of NFE2L2. The interaction with NFE2L2 is required for the transcriptional regulation of SSAT.,tissue specificity:Highest levels of expression in heart and skeletal muscle, with significant levels expressed in kidney and liver.,
