Calcitonin, Salmon

Salmon calcitonin is a potent calcitonin-receptor agonist with greater receptor potency and metabolic stability than human calcitonin. It is widely used in bone, calcium-homeostasis and receptor-pharmacology research.

• calcitonin-family receptor pharmacology
• cardiovascular or metabolic signaling
• bone and calcium-homeostasis studies
• amyloid and aggregation research

N-terminal disulfide loops, C-terminal amidation, species sequence and analog substitutions are part of the exact molecular identity and can substantially change receptor activity or aggregation behavior.
