Mouse monoclonal antibody [30/7-9B4] to Calcitonin ReceptorThis gene encodes a high affinity receptor for the peptide hormone calcitonin and belongs to a subfamily of seven transmembrane-spanning G protein-coupled receptors. The encoded protein is involved in maintaining calcium homeostasis and in regulating osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with variations in bone mineral density and onset of osteoporosis. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Tissue Specificity
This antibody was raised against the canonical isoform 1 but has been shown to bind to a truncated isoform lacking the N-terminal region of the receptor (Qi et al. 2012).
