:

Calcitonin (salmon), 22-de-L-tyrosine- (9CI)

Description:
Calcitonin (salmon), also known as salmon calcitonin, is a peptide hormone that plays a crucial role in calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism. It is derived from the salmon species and is characterized by its ability to inhibit osteoclast activity, thereby reducing bone resorption and lowering blood calcium levels. The specific structure of salmon calcitonin includes a sequence of amino acids, with 22-de-L-tyrosine being a notable modification that enhances its biological activity compared to human calcitonin. This substance is commonly used in the treatment of conditions such as osteoporosis and Paget's disease, where it helps to maintain bone density. Salmon calcitonin is typically administered via injection or nasal spray due to its peptide nature, which limits its oral bioavailability. The CAS number 78312-75-1 uniquely identifies this compound, facilitating its recognition in scientific literature and regulatory contexts. Overall, salmon calcitonin is an important therapeutic agent in managing bone-related disorders, leveraging its unique biochemical properties for clinical applications.
