Stanniocalcin, a glycosylated peptide hormone, first discovered in a bony fish has originally been shown to play critical role in calcium and phosphate homeostasis. Two paralogs of stanniocalcin (<i>STC1</i> and <i>STC2</i>) identified in mammals are widely expressed in variety of tissues. This review provides historical perspective on the discovery of fish and mammalian stanniocalcin, describes molecular regulation of <i>STC2</i> gene, catalogs distribution as well as expression of STC2 in tiss ...[more]
