Calcitonin is a peptide hormone that lowers blood calcium level and inhibits bone resorption.{38632,39431} It belongs to the calcitonin family of peptides, which also includes amylin (Item No. 24274), calcitonin gene-related peptide (Item No. 24405), and adrenomedullin.{38633} The binding of salmon calcitonin to the human calcitonin receptor (CTR) is not modulated by receptor activity-modifying proteins (RAMPs), which influence affinity of human calcitonin (Item No. 24409) to CTR.{38634,39432} Salmon calcitonin binds to human CTR2 with IC50 values of 0.933, 0.224, 0.134, and 0.317 nM alone and with RAMP1, 2, or 3, respectively. It induces cAMP accumulation in COS-7 cells transfected with CTR2 (EC50 = 0.166 nM).{39433} Salmon calcitonin inhibits bone resorption by osteoclasts in a pit formation assay using rat bone slices (ID50 = 0.003 pg/mL) and lowers calcium level in vivo in a bioassay of hypocalcemia in rats (ED15 = 33.9 mg/kg).{39434} Formulations containing salmon calcitonin have been used to treat hypercalcemia, bone destruction by osteoporosis, and Paget’s disease.{39431}
