This antibody recognizes the Calcitonin Receptor. Clone 31/01 recognizes an epitope within the cytoplasmic domain that is common to both C1a and C1b Human isoforms.
Purification
Affinity Chromatography on Protein A.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide derived from a sequence within the cytoplasmic domain of Human Calcitonin Receptor. Spleen cells from immunised mice were fused with cells of the mouse SP2/0 myeloma cell line.

Calcitonin receptor is a membrane protein with seven transmembrane domains that is coupled to G protein messenger systems. The calcitonin receptor is expressed in kidney, central and peripheral nervous systems and on osteoclasts. It is also expressed in a number of tissues during the development of the embryo and may be important in foetal morphogenesis.Synonyms: CALCR, CT-R, CTR
