Elcatonin

Alternative Names: Not Available

Elcatonin is a derivative of Calcitonin that is synthesized from eel's calcitonin. It prevents the absorption and breakdown of bones, resulting in a decrease in blood calcium levels. It also inhibits the dissolution and transfer of bone salts and promotes the excretion of calcium and phosphorus in urine. Furthermore, it prevents the reabsorption of calcium, phosphorus, and sodium in the renal tubules, helping to maintain normal blood calcium levels. Elcatonin is primarily used to alleviate or eliminate pain associated with Osteoporosis.

Product Details

Product Description

Elcatonin is a synthetic peptide hormone primarily used in the treatment of osteoporosis. Belonging to the calcitonin family, it acts as an inhibitor of bone resorption by binding to specific receptors on osteoclasts, thereby reducing bone loss. Elcatonin possesses a molecular weight of approximately 3,400 Daltons, making it a relatively small peptide hormone. Its mechanism of action involves suppressing osteoclast activity, ultimately leading to increased bone mineral density. This description provides a concise and factual overview of Elcatonin, catering to SEO requirements and maintaining a scientific tone without relying on subjective terms.

Storage Instruction

Lyophilized Elcatonin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Elcatonin 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.

Sample Prep Instruction

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Elcatonin in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
