Background of Osteocalcin
Osteocalcin, also known as bone gamma-carboxyglutamic acid-containing protein (BGLAP), is a noncollagenous protein found in bone and dentin. In humans, the osteocalcin is encoded by the BGLAP gene. Its receptor is GPRC6A. It is mapped to 1q22. Osteocalcin may play a role in the body's metabolic regulation and is pro-osteoblastic, or bone-building. It acts as a hormone in the body, causing beta cellsin the pancreas to release more insulin, and at the same time directing fat cells to release the hormone adiponectin, which increases sensitivity to insulin. Also, it may play a role in male fertility. And it is found that picomolar amounts of osteocalcin affected insulin secretion and beta-cell proliferation.

Figure 1. IHC analysis of Osteocalcin using anti-Osteocalcin antibody (PB9918).
Osteocalcin was detected in a paraffin-embedded section of human osteosarcoma tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1 μg/ml rabbit anti-Osteocalcin Antibody (PB9918) overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC) (Catalog # SA1022) with DAB as the chromogen.

Question
Does anti-Osteocalcin/BGLAP antibody PB9918 work for IHC-P with myometrium?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-03-04
Answer
According to the expression profile of myometrium, BGLAP is highly expressed in myometrium. So, it is likely that anti-Osteocalcin/BGLAP antibody PB9918 will work for IHC-P with myometrium.

Asked: 2019-12-13
Answer
The immunogen of PB9918 anti-Osteocalcin/BGLAP antibody is E. coli-derived human Osteocalcin recombinant protein (Position: Y52-V100). Human Osteocalcin shares 69% and 80.9% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat Osteocalcin, respectively. Could you tell me which isotype you are interested in so I can help see if the immunogen is part of this isotype?

Question
I have a question about product PB9918, anti-Osteocalcin/BGLAP antibody. I was wondering if it would be possible to conjugate this antibody with biotin. I would need it to be without BSA or sodium azide. I am planning on using a buffer exchange of sodium azide with PBS only. Would there be problems for me to conjugate the antibody and store it in -20 degrees in small aliquots?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-12-09
Answer
We suggest not storing this antibody with PBS buffer only in -20 degrees. If you want to store it in -20 degrees it is best to add some cryoprotectant like glycerol. If you want carrier free PB9918 anti-Osteocalcin/BGLAP antibody, we can provide it to you in a special formula with trehalose and/or glycerol. These molecules will not interfere with conjugation chemistry and provide a good level of protection for the antibody from degradation. Please be sure to specify this in your purchase order.

Question
Does PB9918 anti-Osteocalcin/BGLAP antibody work on parafin embedded sections? If so, which fixation method do you recommend we use (PFA, paraformaldehyde, other)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-06-25
Answer
You can see on the product datasheet, PB9918 anti-Osteocalcin/BGLAP antibody as been tested on IHC-P. It is best to use PFA for fixation because it has better tissue penetration ability. PFA needs to be prepared fresh before use. Long term stored PFA turns into formalin, as the PFA molecules congregate and become formalin.
