Osteoporosis is a complicated disease which results in bone mass loss, many factors are involved such as menopause, vitamin D deficiency, hyperparathyroidism, thyrotoxicosis, hypothyroidism, immobilization etc... I would like to know the name of the enzymes which contribute to the calcium deposition on the bone, and the name of enzymes that accelerates the bone fracture healing?
Some of the proteins / enzymes involved
in bone healing / degradation are
Schnurri, Angels, Sprouty, Hoxa2 (not a hoax).

Genetic variations of CYP19, CYP1A2, CYP3A4, 17beta-HSD are vital factors for estradiol levels thus might be closely related to the osteoporosis development.
Beta-cross laps is a product of collagen degradation and a biomarker of bone resorbtion, P1NP serves as an indicator of collagen formation, osteocalcin measurement is recommended to perform in postmenopausal women for risk assessment of osteoporosis.
In veterinary medicine we supplement phytase enzymes to improve utilisation of calcium and phosphorus from feed. I believe we will be utilising these enzymes in food soon too. Have a look at this article
