Osteocalcin (BGLAP) is secreted by osteoblasts and plays a role in metabolic regulation. It is pro-osteoblastic (bone-building). It is also implicated in bone mineralization and calcium ion homeostasis. Osteocalcin acts as a hormone in the body, causing beta cells in the pancreas to release more insulin, and at the same time directing fat cells to release the hormone adiponectin, which increases sensitivity to insulin. It may play a role in male fertility, enhancing the synthesis of testosterone.
