Background
This gene encodes the peptide hormones calcitonin, calcitonin gene-related peptide and
katacalcin by tissue-specific alternative RNA splicing of the gene transcripts and cleavage of
inactive precursor proteins. Calcitonin is involved in calcium regulation and acts to regulate
phosphorus metabolism. Calcitonin gene-related peptide functions as a vasodilator and as
an antimicrobial peptide while katacalcin is a calcium-lowering peptide. Multiple transcript
variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene
