What is CALCITONIN, HUMAN?

The Uses of CALCITONIN, HUMAN

Regulator (calcium).

The Uses of CALCITONIN, HUMAN

Decreases blood calcium and phosphate due to inhibition of resorption by osteoblasts and osteocytes. A carrier peptide that can be used to internalize fusion proteins

The Uses of CALCITONIN, HUMAN

Calcitonin human has been used to study its ability to stimulate cAMP production post transfection in mammalian cell by activating human CALCRL (calcitonin receptor like receptor gene)- receptor activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP1) and CTR (calcitonin receptor).

brand name

Biochem/physiol Actions

Calcitonin, also referred to as thyrocalcitonin, is a 32 amino acid peptide hormone, which is present abundantly in seminal plasma compared to serum. It acts as a first messenger and hence regulates the the production of cAMP as well as mammalian sperm function. It also facilitates the regulation of different isoforms of adenylyl cyclase.
