Label	Id	Description
Calcium Metabolism Disorders	D002128	[Disorders in the processing of calcium in the body: its absorption, transport, storage, and utilization.]
Calciphylaxis	D002115	[Condition of induced systemic hypersensitivity in which tissues respond to appropriate challenging agents with a sudden local calcification.]
Calcitonin	D002116	[A peptide hormone that lowers calcium concentration in the blood. In humans, it is released by thyroid cells and acts to decrease the formation and absorptive activity of osteoclasts. Its role in regulating plasma calcium is much greater in children and in certain diseases than in normal adults.]
Thyroid Hormones	D013963	[Natural hormones secreted by the THYROID GLAND, such as THYROXINE, and their synthetic analogs.]
Peptide Hormones	D036361	[Hormones synthesized from amino acids. They are distinguished from INTERCELLULAR SIGNALING PEPTIDES AND PROTEINS in that their actions are systemic.]
PARIS-1 antigen	C446300
Calcitriol	D002117	[The physiologically active form of vitamin D. It is formed primarily in the kidney by enzymatic hydroxylation of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (CALCIFEDIOL). Its production is stimulated by low blood calcium levels and parathyroid hormone. Calcitriol increases intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and in concert with parathyroid hormone increases bone resorption.]
Dihydroxycholecalciferols	D004100	[Cholecalciferols substituted with two hydroxy groups in any position.]
Cxcl7 protein, mouse	C446301
Calcium	D002118	[A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.]
Metals, Alkaline Earth	D008673	[Metals that constitute the group 2 (formerly group IIa) of the periodic table.]
Blood Coagulation Factors	D001779	[Endogenous substances, usually proteins, that are involved in the blood coagulation process.]
NE 21650	C446302
Calcium Carbonate	D002119	[Carbonic acid calcium salt (CaCO3). An odorless, tasteless powder or crystal that occurs in nature. It is used therapeutically as a phosphate buffer in hemodialysis patients and as a calcium supplement.]
Calcium Compounds	D017610	[Inorganic compounds that contain calcium as an integral part of the molecule.]
Minerals	D008903	[Native, inorganic or fossilized organic substances having a definite chemical composition and formed by inorganic reactions. They may occur as individual crystals or may be disseminated in some other mineral or rock. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed; McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)]
ScbA protein, Streptomyces	C446303
ScbR protein, Streptomyces coelicolor	C446304
MLF1IP protein, human	C485917
Stiff-Person Syndrome	D016750	[A condition characterized by persistent spasms (SPASM) involving multiple muscles, primarily in the lower limbs and trunk. The illness tends to occur in the fourth to sixth decade of life, presenting with intermittent spasms that become continuous. Minor sensory stimuli, such as noise and light touch, precipitate severe spasms. Spasms do not occur during sleep and only rarely involve cranial muscles. Respiration may become impaired in advanced cases. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1492; Neurology 1998 Jul;51(1):85-93)]
