Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Elcatonin is a synthetic eel‑calcitonin derivative that acts on calcitonin receptors to inhibit osteoclastic bone resorption and reduce serum calcium levels. It also exerts analgesic effects by modulating neuropeptide signalling in nociceptive pathways.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in bone‑resorption studies, calcitonin‑receptor pharmacology, pain‑modulation assays, and calcium‑homeostasis modelling.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include nausea, flushing, allergic reactions, hypocalcemia and injection‑site irritation. Handle with peptide‑hormone precautions.
