Osteomark^® NTx Urine ELISA

Elevated Bone resorption is the primary cause of age related bone loss and low bone mass often results in osteopenia and is the major cause of osteoporosis. Osteomark^® NTx measures the cross-linked N-telopeptides of bone type I collagen (NTx). The NTx molecule’s unique amino acid sequence and orientation of the cross-linked alpha-2 (I) N telopeptide is specific to bone. Therefore measuring the levels of NTx helps in monotoring the primary cause of age related bone loss that leads to Osteoporosis.
