Applications:

Calcitonin Salmon is a polypeptide that has 32 amino acids. Synthetic salmon calcitonin may be used therapeutically in humans, as it is twenty times more active than human calcitonin and has a longer half-life. It is used as therapy for Paget's disease, severe hypercalcemia, and in some cases, gynecomastia. It is also used as a therapy against osteoporosis.
