Rat ucOC (Undercarboxylated Osteocalcin) ELISA Kit  (RTES01095)

Undercarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC) reflects the fraction of osteocalcin that has not undergone vitamin K-dependent gamma-carboxylation, making it a valuable indicator of skeletal turnover, glucose-handling pathways, and nutritional vitamin K status in preclinical models. This quantitative immunoassay from Assay Genie is calibrated specifically for rat ucOC and supports rodent studies spanning osteoporosis, the diabetes-bone axis, warfarin intervention, and dietary vitamin K supplementation protocols. The workflow uses a matched antibody pair configuration with absorbance-based readout on a standard microplate, processing specimens prepared from blood and tissue culture supernatants collected during in vitro experiments. Each kit supplies sufficient reagents for one full plate run, accommodating both small pilot screens and larger cohort comparisons. Reagents are intended for research use only and should be refrigerated between uses to preserve antibody binding activity.
