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...
Salmon calcitonin inhibits whole body Ca2+ uptake in young rainbow trout
Lay Summary This study focused on the effects of salmon calcitonin (CT) on calcium transport in rainbow trout, specifically how it impacts the uptake of calcium across their gills. The research showed that CT significantly inhibits this calcium transport, which is a...
