Extra Details:
Calcitonin is a 32 amino acid polypeptide hormone that preserves skeletal integrity and reduces blood calcium levels by decreasing osteoclast activity in bones; calcium and phosphate reabsorption by kidney tubules and calcium absorption by the intestines. The secretion of Calcitonin from the thyroid is regulated in part by estrogen; which increases Calcitonin mRNA levels. The Calcitonin gene; CALCA; undergoes tissue-specific RNA alternative splicing; resulting in the production of different mRNA transcripts. One transcript encodes procalcitonin as well as both calcium-lowering processed active polypeptides; Calcitonin and katacalcin. An alternative transcript of CALCA encodes the precursor for the neuropeptide referred to as Calcitonin generelated peptide 1; also designated CGRP1 or 伪-CGRP. CGRP is a widely distributed vasodilatory peptide. Calcitonin and katacalcin are produced primarily in the thyroid; while CGRP is produced in neuronal cells. A second CGRP related gene; CALCB; thought to be derived from an gene duplication event; has been identified in mouse; rat and human. Unlike CALCA; CALCB is not subject to alternative splicing and encodes a single transcript designated CGRP2 or 尾-CGRP. Mature CGRP1 and CGRP2 share significant sequence identity at the protein level differing by only 1-3 amino acid residues; depending on the species.
