Calcitonin/CALCA Protein, Human (GST)

Customer Review

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.

Biological Activity

Description

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.

Background

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.
