Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Four glycoproteins are present in bone: sialoprotein,which binds easily with calcium; osteocalcin,which binds preferentially to crystallized calcium; bone albumin,which is identical to serum albumin and possibly transports essential nutrients to and from bone cells and maintains the osmotic pressure of bone fluid; and alpha-glycoprotein (á-glycoprotein).Collagen is not a glycoprotein.
