Overview
Calcitonin Antibody / CALCA / CGRP is an antibody targeting Calcitonin. Host: Mouse. Monoclonal. Clone: CALCA/3310. Format: Purified. Applications: IHC-P.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: Calcitonin.
- Immunogen: A portion of amino acids 3-116 was used as the immunogen for the Calcitonin antibody..
- Species reactivity: Human.
- Localization: Cytoplasm, Secreted.
- Conjugate: Unconjugated (no label listed).
Biological background (from provided description)
Calcitonin is a hormone that preserves skeletal integrity and reduces blood calcium levels by decreasing osteoclast activity in bones, calcium and phosphate reabsorption by kidney tubules and calcium absorption by the intestines. The secretion of Calcitonin from the thyroid is regulated in part by estrogen, which increases Calcitonin mRNA levels.
Common research applications
- IHC: tissue distribution assessment; interpret with matched controls.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Account for isoforms, paralogs, and post-translational modifications when interpreting signal.
- Support specificity with biological controls (e.g., KO/KD where available) and technical controls (e.g., secondary-only/isotype).
Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
