| Gene Symbol | BGLAP |
| Gene Full Name | bone gamma-carboxyglutamate (gla) protein |
| Background | 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. [UniProt] |
| Research Area | Developmental Biology antibody; Signaling Transduction antibody |
| Calculated MW | 11 kDa |
| PTM | Gamma-carboxyglutamate residues are formed by vitamin K dependent carboxylation. These residues are essential for the binding of calcium. |
