Calcitonin (CT): Biochemistry, Biosynthesis and Roles | Biology
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Biochemistry of Calcitonin 2. Biosynthesis of Calcitonin 3. Physiological Roles. Biochemistry of Calcitonin: Calcitonin is peptide hormone having 32 amino acid residues, with a 1-7 intrachain disulfide ring and a prolinamide carboxy-terminal group (Fig. 7.23) in human. Biosynthesis of Calcitonin: Like many other peptide hormones, it is derived from a larger precursor [...]
