Background
function: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.,function:CGRP induces vasodilation. It dilates a variety of vessels including the coronary, cerebral and systemic vasculature. Its abundance in the CNS also points toward a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator role. It also elevates platelet cAMP.,function:Katacalcin is a potent plasma calcium-lowering peptide.,online information:Calcitonin entry,similarity:Belongs to the calcitonin family.,
