Procalcitonin is a peptide hormone mainly produced by the C cells of the thyroid and certain endocrine cells of the lung. Under normal expression conditions, procalcitonin is immediately cleaved into three specific fragments, an N terminal residue, calcitonin and katacalcin. Levels of unprocessed procalcitonin rise significantly after bacterial infection, trauma or shock.
Procalcitonin Rat Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain (Val26-Asn136) containing 121 amino acids including a 10 aa His tag at N-terminus. The total calculated molecular mass is 13.6kDa.
| UniProt Protein Function: | 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. |
