Indicators
Calcitonin (32 aa, ~3 kDa) is encoded by the human CALCA gene. This protein is involved in the modulation of blood calcium and phosphate concentrations through promoting incorporation of these ions into bone.
Tests
A calcitonin test uses a sample of your blood to measure your levels of calcitonin, a hormone made in your thyroid gland by cells called “C cells.” Your thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in your neck, and C cells grow on the inside part of your thyroid (the medulla).
