Calcitonin is a polypeptide hormone secreted by the parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland in mammals. It inhibits bone resorption and lowers both serum and urinary calcium concentrations. Human calcitonin is available only in very small quantities but has been used in some studies. The first commercially available preparation in Britain is a porcine calcitonin (Calcitare - Armour).

Polypeptide hormones, growth factors, and a variety of other naturally occurring ligands bind specifically to receptors on the cell surface. At physiologic temperatures these ligands are internalized by cells and associate intracellularly with lysosomes. Receptor-mediated internalization provides a simple mechanism that may act to couple receptor-mediated hormone degradation with receptor-medicated receptor regulation.
