Human calcitonin
Calcitonin was first discovered in isolated parathyroid tissue as a substance with a serum-calcium-lowering effect. It is constituted as a 32-amino acid single chain polypeptide structure that gets secreted as a regulatory agent in calcium-phosphorus metabolism. It is used as an alternative for people developing antibodies against salmon calcitonin.
