Description
Procalcitonin (PCT) is apeptide precursor of the hormonecalcitonin, the latter being involved withcalcium homeostasis. It is composed of 116amino acidsand is produced byparafollicular cells (C cells) of thethyroid and by theneuroendocrine cells of the lung and the intestine.An increase in PCT concentration may in some cases be induced by factors independent of sepsis and infection. Surgery, polytrauma, heat shock, burn injuries and cardiogenic shock also lead to an increase in the PCT level.
