Antigen-specific affinity chromatography followed by Protein A affinity chromatography
form :
Supplied as solution form in 0.01M PBS, pH7.4, containing 0.05% Proclin-300,50% glycerol.
concentration :
0.54 mg/ml
storage stability :
Storage: Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Store at 4ºC for frequent use. Aliquot and store at -20ºC for 12 months. Stability Test: The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37°C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the
expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
tested application :
Western Blot (WB); Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Immunoprecipitation (IP).

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes the peptide hormones calcitonin, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and katacalcin. Alternative splicing of the mRNA results in multiple variants that encode either calcitonin or CGRP preproproteins. Post-translational processing of the calcitonin and CGRP propeptides results in either calcitonin and katacalcin, or CGRP, respectively. Calcitonin and katacalcin modulate calcium levels in the blood stream. CGRP can function as a vasodilator and play a role in the transmission of pain. The human homolog of CGRP was found to have antimicrobial activity. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2015]
uniprot summary :
CALCA: 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. Belongs to the calcitonin family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 7 F1 7 59.99 cM. Cellular Component: axon; cell soma; cytoplasm; extracellular region; extracellular space; intracellular; neuron projection; nucleus; terminal bouton. Molecular Function: calcitonin receptor binding; hormone activity; receptor binding. Biological Process: adenylate cyclase activation; adenylate cyclase-activating G-protein coupled receptor signaling pathway; cellular calcium ion homeostasis; detection of temperature stimulus involved in sensory perception of pain; feeding behavior; inflammatory response; negative regulation of blood pressure; negative regulation of neurological process; negative regulation of ossification; negative regulation of smooth muscle contraction; neurological system process involved in regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure; neuromuscular junction development; neuropeptide signaling pathway; positive regulation of cell adhesion; positive regulation of ossification; regulation of blood pressure; regulation of heart contraction; regulation of heart rate; response to heat; response to pain; sperm capacitation; vasodilation; vasodilation of artery during baroreceptor response to increased systemic arterial blood pressure
