Conjugated Antibody
The APC conjugated antibody version of this item is also available as catalog #MBS2042765
Preparation and Storage
Store at 4 degree C for frequent use. Stored at -20 degree C in a manual defrost freezer for one year without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37 degree C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.

NCBI Description

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 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.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2014]

Uniprot Description

CALCA: Calcitonin 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. Belongs to the calcitonin family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Protein type: Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 11p15.2

Cellular Component: cell soma; cytoplasm; extracellular region; extracellular space; nucleus; terminal bouton

Molecular Function: calcitonin receptor binding; hormone activity; identical protein binding; protein binding

Biological Process: activation of protein kinase activity; adenylate cyclase activation; adenylate cyclase-activating G-protein coupled receptor signaling pathway; aging; cellular protein metabolic process; detection of temperature stimulus involved in sensory perception of pain; elevation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration; elevation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration during G-protein signaling, coupled to IP3 second messenger (phospholipase C activating); embryo implantation; feeding behavior; inflammatory response; monocyte chemotaxis; negative regulation of bone resorption; negative regulation of neurological process; negative regulation of ossification; negative regulation of smooth muscle contraction; negative regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; neuropeptide signaling pathway; positive regulation of adenylate cyclase activity; positive regulation of ossification; regulation of heart rate; response to heat; response to pain; vasodilation of artery during baroreceptor response to increased systemic arterial blood pressure

Product Notes

The CT calca (Catalog #AAA2085844) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Monoclonal Antibody to Calcitonin (CT) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Calcitonin (CT) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Immunoprecipitation (IP). Western Blot: 0.5-5ug/ml Immunocytochemistry in formalin fixed cells: 5-30ug/ml Immunohistochemistry in formalin fixed frozen section: 5-30ug/ml Immunohistochemistry in paraffin section: 5-30ug/ml Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay: 0.05-2ug/ml. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CT calca for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Calcitonin (CT), Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
