Target Information

This gene encodes the peptide hormones calcitonin, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and katacalcin by tissue-specific alternative RNA splicing and cleavage of inactive precursor proteins.
Calcitonin regulates calcium and phosphorus metabolism.
CGRP functions as a vasodilator, while katacalcin acts as a calcium-lowering peptide.
Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
