The role of peptides and receptors of the calcitonin family in the regulation of bone metabolism.
Bone 43 , 813-818, (2008) The 'calcitonin family' is a group of peptide hormones that share structural similarities with calcitonin, and includes calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), amylin, adrenomedullin and adrenomedullin 2 (intermedin). These hormones are produced by different ... |

Signal transduction pathways of calcitonin/calcitonin receptor regulating cytoskeletal organization and bone-resorbing activity of osteoclasts.
Cell Mol. Biol. 52 , 19-23, (2006) Calcitonin is a calcium-regulating peptide hormone that acts directly on osteoclasts and suppresses their function. In this review we will focus on the downstream signaling pathways of calcitonin receptor regulating cytoskeletal organization of osteoclasts. W... |

Back to the future: revisiting parathyroid hormone and calcitonin control of bone remodeling.
Horm. Metab. Res. 42 , 299-306, (2010) This review reflects on the past, present, and future of translational research on calcitropic hormones and bone metabolism. Calcitonin (CT) and parathormone (PTH) are complementary hormones involved in the acquisition and maintenance of bone mass and regulat... |

Molecular physiology and pharmacology of calcitonin.
Cell Mol. Biol. 52 , 33-43, (2006) Calcitonin is a thirty-two amino acid peptide that contains an N-terminal disulphide bridge and a C-terminal prolineamide residue. It is released from thyroid parafollicular C-cells and its direct actions on the osteoclast account for its physiological effect... |
