Calcitonin Salmon is a type of polypeptide hormone that is responsible for regulating calcium metabolism. This hormone is found in the ultimobranchial gland of salmon, and has the same sequence as that of human calcitonin. Calcitonin Salmon is produced through either synthetic processes or microbial processes that use recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology.

Application

Calcitonin salmonUSP reference standard intended for use in specified quality tests and assays.

Also used to prepare standard stock, system suitability, standard, system suitability stock, resolution, and positive control solutions for assay and specific tests according to the given below monographs of United States Pharmacopeia (USP):

• Calcitonin Salmon Nasal Solution
• Calcitonin Salmon Injection
• Calcitonin Salmon

Biochem/physiol Actions

Hypocalcemic hormone produced by the parafollicular C cells of the thyroid or by the ultimobranchial bodies of nonmammalian vertebrates. Decreases blood calcium and phosphate due to inhibition of resorption by osteoblasts and osteocytes.

Other Notes

32 amino acid polypeptide, 8 of which are conserved across all species.
