Other Information

**Key Characteristics** CALCA is a 37-amino acid peptide hormone that belongs to the CGRP family. It is a key regulator of calcium homeostasis and is involved in the regulation of smooth muscle contraction, neuronal function, and pain modulation. CALCA is highly expressed in the gut, pancreas, and nervous system, and its expression is often upregulated in response to stress, inflammation, or injury. The gene's product is highly conserved across species, suggesting its importance in evolutionarily conserved physiological processes. **Pathways and Functions** CALCA interacts with various receptors and signaling pathways to regulate its physiological effects. The primary pathways involved in CALCA signaling include: 1. **Calcium homeostasis**: CALCA regulates calcium homeostasis by interacting with the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) and the parathyroid hormone receptor (PTH1R). This interaction modulates calcium release from intracellular stores and calcium absorption from the gut. 2. **Smooth muscle contraction**: CALCA interacts with the smooth muscle contractile machinery, regulating the contraction of smooth muscle cells. This interaction is mediated by the activation of protein kinase C (PKC) and the subsequent activation of the myosin light chain kinase (MLCK). 3. **Neuronal function**: CALCA interacts with various neuronal receptors, including the CGRP receptor, to regulate neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission. This interaction is mediated by the activation of adenylate cyclase and the subsequent increase in cAMP levels. 4. **Pain modulation**: CALCA is involved in the regulation of pain perception by interacting with the CGRP receptor and the TRPV1 receptor. This interaction modulates the release of pain-related neurotransmitters, such as substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). **Clinical Significance** CALCA has been implicated in various diseases and disorders, including: 1. **Migraine**: CALCA has been shown to play a key role in the pathophysiology of migraine, a disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of severe headache. 2. **Cardiovascular disease**: CALCA has been implicated in the regulation of blood pressure and cardiovascular function. Elevated CALCA levels have been associated with hypertension and cardiovascular disease. 3. **Pain disorders**: CALCA has been implicated in the regulation of pain perception and has been used as a therapeutic target for pain disorders. 4. **Neurodegenerative disorders**: CALCA has been implicated in the regulation of neuronal function and has been used as a therapeutic target for neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. In conclusion, CALCA is a gene that encodes a peptide hormone involved in various physiological processes, including calcium homeostasis, pain modulation, and inflammation. Its expression is widely distributed across various tissues, and its product interacts with various receptors and signaling pathways to regulate its physiological effects. CALCA has been implicated in various diseases and disorders, including migraine, cardiovascular disease, pain disorders, and neurodegenerative disorders, making it a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of these conditions.
