Using 125I-salmon calcitonin (sCT) as a ligand, in vitro autoradiography of rat brain outlined specific anatomical localization of human calcitonin (hCT) sensitive binding sites. The results presented herein show that there are hCT sensitive binding sites in the ventral part of the lateral septum among the sCT specific binding sites distributed throughout the diencephalon.

D002116 Calcitonin A peptide hormone that lowers calcium concentration in the blood. In humans, it is released by thyroid cells and acts to decrease the formation and absorptive activity of osteoclasts. Its role in regulating plasma calcium is much greater in children and in certain diseases than in normal adults.
