Cat. No. CSC-RG0008
Background This gene encodes a high affinity receptor for the peptide hormone Calcitonin and belongs to a subfamily of seven transmembrane spanning G protein coupled receptors. The protein is involved in maintaining calcium homeostasis and in regulating osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with variations in bone mineral density and onset of osteoporosis. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
