SummarySummary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
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

Protein name Calcitonin [Cleaved into: Calcitonin (CT); Katacalcin (Calcitonin carboxyl-terminal peptide) (CCP) (PDN-21)]
Protein function [Calcitonin]: Calcitonin is a peptide hormone that 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. Calcitonin function is mediated by the calcitonin re

Protein name Calcitonin gene-related peptide 1 (CGRP1) (Alpha-type CGRP) (Calcitonin gene-related peptide I) (CGRP-I)
Protein function CGRP1/CALCA is a peptide hormone that induces vasodilation mediated by the CALCRL-RAMP1 receptor complex (PubMed:1318039, PubMed:33602864, PubMed:9620797). Dilates a variety of vessels including the coronary, cerebral and systemic vasculature. I
