Description | Rabbit IgG polyclonal Picoband™ antibody for Calcitonin gene-related peptide 1(CALCA) detection. Tested with IHC-P in Mouse;Rat. No cross reactivity with other proteins. Calcitonin, also known as CALCA, is a peptide hormone synthesized by the parafollicular cells of the thyroid. It is mapped to 11p15.2. Calcitonin belongs to the calcitonin-like protein family. Calcitonin is involved in calcium regulation and acts to regulate phosphorus metabolism. Calcitonin gene-related peptide functions as a vasodilator and as an antimicrobial peptide while katacalcin is a calcium-lowering peptide. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. |
Immunogen | A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of mouse Calcitonin (83-119aa SCNTATCVTHRLAGLLSRSGGVVKDNFVPTNVGSEAF), different from the related human sequence by four amino acids, and identical to the related rat sequence. |
