Accession No.: P01258

Description:
Katacalcin is a potent plasma calcium lowering peptide. Katacalcin belongs to the calcitonin family, that causes a rapid but short-lived drop in the level of calcium and phosphate in blood by promoting the incorporation of these ions in the bones. Calcitonin is cleaved into 2 chains, calcitonin and katacalcin.
