32 amino acids is a critical length rDNA origin synthetic recombinant The mean bioavailability of Calcitonin-Salmon Nasal Spray is approximately 3% of that of injectable calcitonin in normal subjects.
Human calcitonin : Not N-glycosylated modified C-terminus ! 1 disulfide bridge Not N-glycosylated 32 prolineamide modified C-terminus !
Why is salmon calcitonin more potent than human calcitonin ? The conformation hypothesis seems the most likely .
