Calcitonin/CALCA Protein, Human (GST)
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Calcitonin/CALCA protein acts as a vasodilator, dilating different blood vessels, including coronary, cerebral, and systemic vessels. Its presence in the central nervous system suggests its potential role as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator. Calcitonin/CALCA Protein, Human (GST) is the recombinant human-derived Calcitonin/CALCA protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-GST labeled tag.
- Species: Human
- Source: E. coli
-
Storage:Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
Biological Activity
Calcitonin/CALCA protein acts as a vasodilator, dilating different blood vessels, including coronary, cerebral, and systemic vessels. Its presence in the central nervous system suggests its potential role as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator. Calcitonin/CALCA Protein, Human (GST) is the recombinant human-derived Calcitonin/CALCA protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-GST labeled tag.
Calcitonin/CALCA protein, known for its role as a vasodilator, induces dilation in various vessels, including those in the coronary, cerebral, and systemic vasculature. Its presence in the central nervous system suggests potential functions as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator. Additionally, Calcitonin/CALCA contributes to the elevation of platelet cAMP, indicating its involvement in regulating intracellular signaling pathways. The multifaceted actions of Calcitonin/CALCA underscore its significance in vascular regulation and neurotransmission within the central nervous system.
