Target Details for Calcitonin

Target: Calcitonin (Calca)

Alternative Name: CALCA/CT (Calca Products)

Synonyms: calcitonin-related polypeptide alpha antibody, CALCA antibody

Background: This gene encodes the peptide hormones calcitonin, calcitonin gene-related peptide and katacalcin by tissue-specific alternative RNA splicing of the gene transcripts and cleavage of inactive precursor proteins. Calcitonin is involved in calcium regulation and acts to regulate phosphorus metabolism. Calcitonin gene-related peptide functions as a vasodilator while katacalcin is a calcium-lowering peptide. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
