Mouse Calcitonin (CT) ELISA Kit

The Mouse Calcitonin (CT) ELISA Kit from Assay Genie quantifies calcitonin, a 32-amino acid polypeptide hormone secreted by parafollicular C-cells of the thyroid gland that regulates serum calcium levels and bone resorption. Researchers apply this in vitro competitive immunoassay to study calcium homeostasis, bone metabolism, thyroid C-cell biology, and medullary thyroid carcinoma in murine models. Reagents remain stable when refrigerated; protect from light and limit freeze-thaw cycles of working standards. The mouse-specific antibody pair shows no significant cross-reactivity with related peptides such as rat calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). Components are intended for research use only and support laboratory investigation of endocrine pathways, not clinical diagnostics.
