Calcitonin Gene Products: Molecular Biology, Chemistry, and Actions

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 107))

Abstract

Calcitonin was discovered by Copp et al. (1961) as a hypocalcemic hormone and the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) recognized through analysis of the calcitonin gene structure (Amara et al. 1982).

Supported in part by the Swiss National Science Foundation (Grant No. 32-28297.90) and the Kanton of Zurich.
