Prolonged Calcitonin Receptor Signaling by Salmon, but Not Human Calcitonin, Reveals Ligand Bias

Salmon calcitonin (sCT) and human calcitonin (hCT) are pharmacologically distinct. However, the reason for the differences is unclear. Here we analyze the differences between sCT and hCT on the human calcitonin receptor (CT(a)R) with respect to activation of cAMP signaling, β-arrestin recruitment, l...
