Related Product Information for anti-CALCA antibody
The antiserum was raised in rabbit which were immunized with Salmon Calcitonin covalently attached onto a carrier protein. The antisera have been shown to be specific for the immunocytochemical detection of Salmon Calcitonin. This antisera has been characterized by ELISA techniques. Dilute the lyophilized antibody with 0.1 ml of 10 mg/ml BSA in PBS for the equivalent of whole antiserum. or with additional buffer for more dilute antibody

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 while katacalcin is a calcium-lowering peptide. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Uniprot Description

Function: 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.Katacalcin is a potent plasma calcium-lowering peptide.

Subcellular location: Secreted.

Sequence similarities: Belongs to the calcitonin family.

Product Notes

The CALCA calca (Catalog #AAA352052) is an Antibody and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's Calcitonin IgG fraction can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Histo. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CALCA 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 IgG fraction, Polyclonal 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.
