Applications: | IHC-P, WB |
Species Reactivity: | Human |
Isotype: | Rabbit Ig |
Purification: | Affinity Purified Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody |
Description: | This gene encodes the peptide hormones calcitonin,calcitonin gene-related peptide and katacalcin by tissue-specificalternative RNA splicing of the gene transcripts and cleavage ofinactive precursor proteins. Calcitonin is involved in calciumregulation and acts to regulate phosphorus metabolism. Calcitoningene-related peptide functions as a vasodilator while katacalcin isa calcium-lowering peptide. Multiple transcript variants encodingdifferent isoforms have been found for this gene. |
Further Information: | This CALCA antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 56-83 amino acids from the Central region of human CALCA. |
Synonym: | Calcitonin gene-related peptide 1, Alpha-type CGRP, Calcitonin gene-related peptide I, CGRP-I, CALCA, CALC1 |
