Bone & calcium metabolism

Bone & calcium metabolism assays are commonly used in the diagnosis of disease states such as parathyroid gland dysfunction, osteoporosis and medullary thyroid carcinoma. These assays are also used in the treatment and follow-up of patients with end-stage renal disease and osteoporosis.

AbD Serotec offers an extensive range of antibodies for use in bone & calcium metabolism immunoassays.

Our bone & calcium metabolism range include performance-guaranteed antibodies to:

• Bone alkaline phosphatase
• Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs)
• Bone sialoprotein
• Calcitonin
• Osteocalcin
• Osteopontin
• Parathyroid hormone (PTH) & PTH receptors
• Vitamin D binding protein

Osteocalcin matched antibody pairs

Serum osteocalcin is elevated in diseases characterized by increased bone turnover such as osteoporosis, hyperparathyroidism and Paget’s disease, and low in conditions associated with low bone turnover such as hypoparathyroidism and growth hormone deficiency.

For sensitive sandwich ELISA assays we offer the following matched antibody pairs for the detection of osteocalcin.
