Our knowledge of the role of proteins in cellular processes is continually evolving. Most proteins, including Calcitonin are typically involved in one or more signaling pathways or biological processes. Professionally manufactured recombinant proteins are increasingly becoming essential and commonplace tools for elucidating new knowledge about the role of proteins in both health and disease.
Source: Synthetically derived human calcitonin
Protein Type: Recombinant
Grade: High Purity
Biological Significance: Calcitonin is a 32-amino acid linear polypeptide hormone that is produced in humans primarily by the parafollicular cells (also known as C-cells) of the thyroid, and in many other animals in the ultimobranchial body. It acts to reduce blood calcium (Ca2+), opposing the effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH).
Species: Human. Biohazard Information: Recombinant proteins are not considered infectious. However, recombinant proteins can be potent immunogens capable of eliciting a strong antibody response. Use appropriate laboratory safety precautions when handling this product.
Expression System: Synthetically derived. Edema, Headache, Hypertension, Inflammation, Kidney Diseases, Migraine Disorders, Migraine without Aura, Necrosis, Neurogenic Inflammation, Pain are some of the diseases may be linked to Calcitonin Peptide. Brain, Mixed, Thyroid tissues are correlated with this protein. CALCA also interacts with the following gene(s): ADM, ADM2, CALCRL, IAPP, PTH, RAMP1, SCT. The following patways have been known to be associated with this gene.
