Gene Symbol:

Bglap Mus musculus

Full name:

bone gamma carboxyglutamate protein

Synonyms:

BGP, Bglap1, OC, OG1, mOC-A, osteocalcin, bone Gla protein, bone gamma carboxyglutamate protein 1, gamma-carboxyglutamic acid-containing protein

Genomic Location:

Chr 3: 88187417-88188386

Description:

This gene encodes one of the most abundant non-collagenous proteins in bone tissue that is localized to the mineralized matrix of bone. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing and post-translational gamma carboxylation to generate a mature, calcium-binding protein. Mice lacking the encoded protein develop abnormalities of bone re...

View Full Description

This gene encodes one of the most abundant non-collagenous proteins in bone tissue that is localized to the mineralized matrix of bone. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing and post-translational gamma carboxylation to generate a mature, calcium-binding protein. Mice lacking the encoded protein develop abnormalities of bone remodelling. This gene is located adjacent to two other osteocalcin-related genes on chromosome 3.
