Calcitonin and calcitonin receptors Mini - review
Calcitonin (CT) is a polypeptide hormone with 32 aminoacids syntetized primarily by the thyroid. Several evidences support the existence of nonthyroidal CT like peptide. The CT gene transcript also encodes a distinct peptide known as calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) which is a potent vasodilator and responsible for the stimulation of the glomerular filtration rate. In addition, a 37 amino...
متن کاملInteraction of calcitonin-gene-related peptide with its receptors.
The receptor for calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a heterodimer formed by calcitonin-receptor-like receptor (CRLR), a type II (family B) G-protein-coupled receptor, and receptor-activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP1), a single-membrane-pass protein. It is likely that the first seven or so amino acids of CGRP (which form a disulphide-bonded loop) interact with the transmembrane domain of ...
متن کاملHuman placental calcitonin receptors.
Receptors for the hypocalcaemic hormone, calcitonin (CT), have been identified in a membrane fraction prepared from term human placentae. Binding of 125I-labelled salmon CT (125I-sCT) to the membranes was time- and temperature-dependent, saturable (Bmax. 58 +/- 11 fmol/mg of protein), of high affinity (Kd 80 +/- 21 pM) and poorly reversible. Species-specific CTs and CT analogues competed for 12...
متن کاملSolubilization of functional calcitonin receptors.
Calcitonin (CT) binding activity has been extracted from a membrane fraction of human placenta using the zwitterionic detergent, 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulphonic acid (Chaps). Approximately two-thirds of the available binding sites were extracted using 5 mM-Chaps. The binding characteristics of 125I-labelled salmon CT(125I-sCT) to the solubilized extract were similar to...
متن کاملCharacterization of specific receptors for calcitonin in porcine lung.
The binding of salmon calcitonin was investigated in subcellular fractions obtained from normal porcine lung. Only the membrane fraction (density, 1.14 g/cm3) showed specific binding for calcitonin. Specific binding of 125I-labeled salmon calcitonin was competitively inhibited by concentrations of unlabeled homologous hormone in the range 0.01-1 nM. Half-maximal inhibition of binding was observ...
