Evidence for calcium-sensing receptor mediated stanniocalcin secretion in fish.
Lay Summary The article presents findings on how calcium levels trigger the release of stanniocalcin (STC) in fish, a hormone important for calcium regulation. It explains that fish have a specific receptor, similar to those in mammals, that senses changes in calcium...
Development of a human stanniocalcin radioimmunoassay: serum and tissue hormone levels and pharmacokinetics in the rat.
Lay Summary This research article discusses the development of a radioimmunoassay for human stanniocalcin (STC), a hormone involved in mineral balance in the body. Unlike in fish, where STC circulates in the blood and regulates calcium and phosphate levels, this study...
Expression, purification, and bioassay of human stanniocalcin from baculovirus-infected insect cells and recombinant CHO cells.
Lay Summary This study successfully produced and tested human stanniocalcin (hSTC), a hormone known for regulating calcium and phosphate, from both insect cells infected with baculovirus and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The research focused on cloning the hSTC...
