Anti-CALCA antibodies are available from over 40 different suppliers for immunodetection applications, such as Western blot, flow cytometry and IHC. In humans, the CALCA gene encodes the protein 'calcitonin related polypeptide alpha,' which may also be known as PCT, CGRP, CALC1, or CGRP1. The CALCA protein is reported to be 128 amino acids in length, 13.9 kDa in mass, and is secreted out of the cell. Up to 3 isoforms have been reported due to alternative splicing. It functions in vasolidation and dilates blood vessels. It is also suspected to serve a neuromodulatory role in the central nervous system.
