.
he Procalcitonin (PCT) is a peptide hormone mainly produced by C cells of the thyroid and certain endocrine cells of the lung . Under normal expression conditions, procalcitonin is immediately cleaved into three specific fragments, an N terminal residue, calcitonin and katacalcin, levels of unprocessed procalcitonin rise significantly after bacterial infection, trauma of shock.
