Abstract
Osteocalcin is the most abundant non-collagenous protein of bone. Recombinant mouse osteocalcin protein (mOC) that includes the highly conserved central domain for binding to hydroxyapatite (HA), a mineral component of bone, was expressed in Escherichia coli. Purified mOC protein exhibited a significant increase in HA adhesion and differentiation in osteoblast cells as well as binding to HA with high affinity.Entities:
