• Background: Calcitonin is a 32 amino acid peptide hormone that defines the calcitonin-like protein family. It is formed by the proteolytic cleavage of a larger prepropeptide, which is the product of the CALC1 gene and secreted by parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland in humans, and in the ultimopharyngeal body in animals. The hormone participates in calcium and phosphorus metabolism by reducing blood calcium, and counteracts the effects of parathyroid hormone and Vitamin D3. This antibody was generated by immunization of rabbits with Calcitonin coupled to a carrier protein.
