Entrez ID 796
Gene name Calcitonin related polypeptide alpha
Gene symbol CALCA
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CALC1CGRPCGRP-ICGRP-alphaCGRP1CTKCPCT
Chromosome 11
Chromosome location 11p15.2
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

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
