Procalcitonin (PCT), a protein that consists of 116 amino acids, is the peptide precursor of calcitonin, a hormone that is synthesized by the parafollicular C cells of the thyroid and involved in calcium homeostasis. Procalcitonin arises from endopeptidase-cleaved preprocalcitonin. Procalcitonin is an early, sensitive, specific marker of bacterial infections. PCT is a polypeptide pro-hormone of calcitonin, a hormone synthesized by thyroid cells and involved in calcium homeostasis. Point of Care - Clinical decision support for Procalcitonin .
