Anti-CTRC Antibody Picoband®

This gene encodes a member of the peptidase S1 family. The encoded protein is a serum calcium-decreasing factor that has chymotrypsin-like protease activity. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed, but their full-length nature has not been determined.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human CTRC, which shares 86.4% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat CTRC.
