UniProt Protein Function: | CALCA iso3: 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. Belongs to the calcitonin family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. |
UniProt Protein Details: | Protein type:Secreted, signal peptide; Secreted Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 11p15.2 Cellular Component: extracellular region; extracellular space Molecular Function:calcitonin receptor binding; identical protein binding; protein binding Biological Process: activation of protein kinase activity; cellular protein metabolic process; elevation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration; elevation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration during G-protein signaling, coupled to IP3 second messenger (phospholipase C activating); embryo implantation; monocyte chemotaxis; negative regulation of bone resorption; negative regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; positive regulation of adenylate cyclase activity |
NCBI Summary: | This gene 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 this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2014] |
