Harmonizome 3.0

calcitonin receptor-like

Enables adrenomedullin binding activity; adrenomedullin receptor activity; and calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; cellular response to sucrose stimulus; and receptor internalization. Located in several cellular components, including endoplasmic reticulum; endosome; and lysosome. Part of CGRP receptor complex and adrenomedullin receptor complex. Implicated in hereditary lymphedema. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

calcitonin pseudogene

calcitonin receptor

This 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.

calcitonin-related polypeptide alpha

This gene encodes the peptide hormones calcitonin, calcitonin gene-related peptide and katacalcin by tissue-specific alternative RNA splicing of the gene transcripts and cleavage of inactive precursor proteins. Calcitonin is involved in calcium regulation and acts to regulate phosphorus metabolism. Calcitonin gene-related peptide functions as a vasodilator and as an antimicrobial peptide while katacalcin is a calcium-lowering peptide. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2014]

calcitonin-related polypeptide beta

Enables hormone activity. Involved in calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor signaling pathway. Is active in extracellular space. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]
