METHODS FOR USING OSTEOCALCIN

摘要

The present invention relates to methods for using osteocalcin. The invention also relates to methods for using polynucleotides encoding osteocalcin. The invention relates to methods using the osteocalcin polypeptides and polynucleotides as a target for diagnosis and treatment osteocalcin related conditions. The invention further relates to drug-screening methods using the osteocalcin polypeptides and polynucleotides to identify agonists and antagonists for diagnosis and treatment. The invention further encompasses agonists and antagonists based on the osteocalcin polypeptides and polynucleotides. The invention further relates to agonists and antagonists identified by drug screening methods with the osteocalcin polypeptides and polynucleotides as a target. The invention further related to methods of treating a subject suffering from an osteocalcin mediated condition.
