Background	Anti-Procalcitonin antibody detects human Procalcitonin. Procalcitonin is a peptide hormone mainly produced by the C cells of the thyroid and certain endocrine cells of the lung. Under normal expression conditions, procalcitonin is immediately cleaved into three specific fragments, a N terminal residue, calcitonin and katacalcin. Levels of unprocessed procalcitonin rise significantly after bacterial infection, trauma or shock. This gene encodes the peptide hormones calcitonin, calcitonin gene-related peptide and katacalcin by tissue-specific alternative RNA splicing of the gene transcripts and cleavage of inactive precursor proteins. Calcitonin is involved in calcium regulation and acts to regulate phosphorus metabolism. Calcitonin gene-related peptide functions as a vasodilator while katacalcin is a calcium-lowering peptide. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Synonyms	mouse anti-procalcitonin antibody, calcitonin isoform CT preproprotein, calcitonin-related polypeptide alpha, CT, KC, CGRP, CALC1, CGRP1, CGRP-I
Note	Anti-Procalcitonin [9G4.C3.F2] antibody was tested by ELISA and Western Blot. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user.
