- Description
- Predicted to have calcitonin receptor binding activity. Involved in calcium ion homeostasis and chloride ion homeostasis. Predicted to localize to extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in migraine and osteoporosis. Is expressed in several structures, including heart; integument; intestine; nervous system; and ultimobranchial body. Orthologous to several human genes including CALCA (calcitonin related polypeptide alpha).
