We have isolated and purified a glycoprotein from the corpuscles of Stannius (CS) of trout, which we consider hypocalcin (also called teleocalcin), the major hypocalcemic hormone of fish. This product...
Bidirectional whole body flux and branchial Ca2+ influx were measured in freshwater rainbow trout. Intra-arterial injections of homogenates of Stannius corpuscles (CS) as well as of a 54-kDa isolated ...
Intravascular CaCl2 infusion in freshwater rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) causes a significant degranulation of the corpuscles of Stannius (CS). Concurrently, there is a specific and acute inhibition...
Hypocalcin, the major hormone with hypocalcaemic action in fish, was isolated from trout corpuscles of Stannius (SCs). The bioactivity of hypocalcin was assessed in a parathyroid hormone (PTH) bioassa...
Highly specific antisera were raised against hypocalcin, a 54-kDa glycoprotein purified from the corpuscles of Stannius (CS) of rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri. The specificity of the antisera was dete...
In order to identify the cell-type responsible for the production of hypocalcin (the recently isolated hypocalcemic hormone of teleost fish), the corpuscles of Stannius (CS) of trout, flounder and gol...
