降鈣素 (英語:calcitonin )又称降鈣激素 、抑鈣素 [ 2] ,是一種含有32個胺基酸 的直線型多肽 類激素 ,在人體裡是由甲狀腺 的濾泡旁細胞 (parafollicular cells,又稱C細胞)製造。在魚類 、爬蟲類 、鳥類 、哺乳類 身上都有發現這種激素。降鈣素主要功能是降低血鈣,但其對於調節人體血液中鈣離子 的恆定通常並沒有很顯著的重要性。[ 3]
主要作用
降鈣素影響了鈣離子和磷酸鹽的代謝過程,其功能多半是拮抗副甲狀腺素 的作用。[ 4]
降鈣素主要透過下列四種方式降低血鈣濃度:
抑制小腸 對於鈣離子的吸收。[ 5]
抑制蝕骨細胞 ,減少骨骼中的鈣離子流失到血液中。[ 6]
抑制腎小管 對磷酸根的再吸收 作用。[ 7]
抑制腎小管 對鈣離子的再吸收作用,增加鈣離子自尿液 流失。[ 7]
