Lay Summary The research article uncovers that stanniocalcin (STC), a hormone initially found in fish, also exists in annelid worms, particularly leeches. Through various experiments, including Western blot analysis and bioassays, the study reveals the presence of...

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...

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...
