Descriptor English: Receptors, Calcitonin
Descriptor Spanish: Receptores de Calcitonina
Descriptor receptores de calcitonina
Scope note: Proteínas de la superficie celular que se unen a la calcitonina y que generan cambios intracelulares que influyen en el comportamiento de las células. Los receptores de la calcitonina que se encuentran fuera del sistema nervioso median el papel de la calcitonina sobre la homeostasis del calcio. El papel de los receptores de la calcitonina en el cerebro no se conoce bien.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018003
Scope note: Cell surface proteins that bind calcitonin and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. Calcitonin receptors outside the nervous system mediate the role of calcitonin in calcium homeostasis. The role of calcitonin receptors in the brain is not well understood.
