Salmon calcitonin (sCT), which is more potent and longer lasting than human CT, has been used widely for the treatment of osteoporosis, paget's disease, hypercalcemic shock and chronic pain in terminal cancer patients. sCT is one of the many bioactive peptides that require C-terminal amidation for full biological activity. |
| Synonyms | CT, KC, CGRP, CALC1, CGRP1, CGRP-I, MGC126648, katacalcin, Calcitonin gene-related peptide 1 precursor, Calcitonin gene-related peptide I. |
| Source | NULL |
| Physical Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Formulation | The calcitonin peptide was lyophilized with no additives. |
| Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Calcitonin in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Stability | Lyophilized Calcitonin althoµgh stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution CGRP should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Purity | Greater than 98.0% as determined by(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
| Usage | NeoBiolab's products are furnished for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as drµgs, agricultural or pesticidal products, food additives or household chemicals. |
