Activity

  • Function:  Calcitonin causes a rapid but short-lived drop in the level of calcium and phosphate in blood by promoting the incorporation of those ions in the bones.; Katacalcin is a potent plasma calcium-lowering peptide.
  • Mechanism:  [Isoform 2]: May be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.
