The calcitonin gene encodes a small family of peptides: calcitonin, calcitonin gene-related
peptide (CGRP) and katacalcin. Whereas calcitonin is concerned with skeletal maintenance …

The calcitonin‐calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) gene complex encodes a family of
novel peptides‐calcitonin, CGRP and katacalcin. Whereas calcitonin is a circulating …

Besides the calcitonin (CT) precursor, the calcitonin gene also encodes another peptide—
calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). We have previously reported that CGRP lowers …

The calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a pepticle which normally circulates. It is
encoded by the calcitonin gene, whose precise function is unknown. Since it has recently …

Synthetic human calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) was examined for the action on
the bone in vitro. Human CGRP inhibited bone resorption stimulated by both human …

The calcitonin-calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP) gene complex encodes a small
family of peptides: calcitonin, CGRP and katacalcin. Calcitonin is a circulating hormone that …

The α-calcitonin gene encodes a small family of peptides: Calcitonin, katacalcin, and
calcitonin generelated peptide (CGRP). Calcitonin and katacalcin are produced from one …

Synthetic analogs of chicken and human CGRP were used to define structure‐function
relationships in a murine osteoblast precursor cell line, KS‐4, that exhibits a substantial …

Calcitonin is a circulating polypeptide that inhibits bone resorption by inducing both
quiescence (Q effect) and retraction (R effect) in osteoclasts. Two structurally related …

Since the discovery of calcitonin in the early 1960s, considerable controversy has
developed regarding the cell-specific responsivity to this peptide, species differences in …
