Product description

Background

CALCA (calcitonin related polypeptide alpha) 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 and as an antimicrobial peptide while katacalcin is a calcium-lowering peptide. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for CALCA.

Research target context

CALCAcalcitonin related polypeptide alpha

View target guide

CALCA identifies calcitonin related polypeptide alpha in Homo sapiens (Human). This target record connects NCBI Gene 796, UniProtKB P01258 and related ABMIUM catalogue products.

Biological function: CALCA encodes calcitonin-family peptide products. Calcitonin is a peptide hormone that lowers circulating calcium and phosphate by promoting their incorporation into bone and signals through calcitonin receptor complexes.
