MeSH definition : Cell surface proteins that bind calcitonin and trigger intracellular changes which
influence the behavior of cells. Calcitonin receptors outside the nervous system mediate
the role of calcitonin in calcium homeostasis. The role of calcitonin receptors in
the brain is not well understood.;
