An analog of salmon calcitonin (sCT) has been synthesized, substituting Arg at positions 11 and 18 and Lys at position 14 to provide a free amino group for derivatization. The potency of [Arg11,18,Lys14]sCT was equivalent to that of sCT in activating adenylate cyclase in UMR 106-06 cells. The analog was derivatized with biotin, fluorescein, or 4-azidobenzoate without loss of activity. The derivatized analog was not degraded by lysine-specific endoprotease, whereas the underivatized [Arg11,18,Lys14]sCT was cleaved at Lys-14. The derivatized analogs were purified by HPLC and subsequently shown to possess full biological activity. The photoactive analog was used to photolabel 88,000 and 71,000 mol wt components of the calcitonin receptor in rat osteoclasts, but only an 88,000 mol wt component was photolabeled in the UMR 106-06 cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D010010 Osteoclasts A large multinuclear cell associated with the BONE RESORPTION. An odontoclast, also called cementoclast, is cytomorphologically the same as an osteoclast and is involved in CEMENTUM resorption. Odontoclasts,Cementoclast,Cementoclasts,Odontoclast,Osteoclast
D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.

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.
