About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for CALCA:
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 while katacalcin is a calcium-lowering peptide. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms
have been found for this gene.(provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: CALC_HUMAN, P01258
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
Function: Katacalcin is a potent plasma calcium-lowering peptide
