calc1

  • Official Full Name

    calc1 Calcitonin-1 [ Salmo salar ]

  • Overview

    Calcitonin (also known as thyrocalcitonin) 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). Calcitonin has been found in fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Its importance in humans has not been as well established as its importance in other animals, as its function is usually not significant in the regulation of normal calcium homeostasis. It belongs to calcitonin-like protein family.

Q&As (5)

Ask a question
What are the three peptide hormones encoded by the CALC1 gene, and what are their respective functions? 03/19/2021

The CALC1 gene encodes three peptide hormones: calcitonin, calcitonin gene-related peptide, and katacalcin. Calcitonin is involved in calcium regulation and also regulates phosphorus metabolism. Calcitonin gene-related peptide functions as a vasodilator and has antimicrobial properties. Katacalcin serves as a calcium-lowering peptide.

What gene is responsible for producing calcitonin, and what is the function of calcitonin in relation to other hormones like PTH and Vitamin D3? 07/11/2020

Calcitonin is produced from the CALC1 gene (also known as CALCA) through the proteolytic cleavage of a larger prepropeptide. Functionally, calcitonin acts as an antagonist to parathyroid hormone (PTH) and Vitamin D3, playing a role in calcium homeostasis.

What is the significance of the multiple transcript variants associated with the CALC1 gene, and what does this imply about the gene's expression? 04/25/2019

Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for the CALC1 gene. This suggests that the gene undergoes tissue-specific alternative RNA splicing and cleavage of inactive precursor proteins, leading to the production of various isoforms with potentially distinct functions or regulatory roles in different tissues or conditions.

What is the main function of the CT receptors associated with the CALC1 gene within the family of G-protein-coupled receptors? 12/03/2018

The main function of the CT receptors linked to the CALC1 gene is to inhibit bone reabsorption and enhance calcium excretion by the kidneys. This helps regulate calcium levels in the body, particularly by preventing excessive calcium release from bones.

Can you list some top interactants with calc1? 09/07/2018

They are GNB1, GNAS, CALCRL, and GNG2
