Background
Calcitonin is a 32-amino acid peptide hormone secreted by the parafollicular cells (C-cells) of the thyroid gland. Its primary function is to lower blood calcium levels by inhibiting osteoclast activity and promoting renal calcium excretion. It serves as a key tumor marker for medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), used for diagnosis and post-surgical monitoring.
