Calcitonin, also known as CALCA, is a peptide hormone synthesized by the parafollicular cells of the thyroid.
It is mapped to 11p15.2.
Calcitonin belongs to the calcitonin-like protein family.
Calcitonin is involved in calcium regulation and acts to regulate phosphorus metabolism.
Calcitonin gene-related peptide functions as a vasodilator and as an antimicrobial peptide while katacalcin is a calcium-lowering peptide.
Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
