Do calf raises work other muscles.?

When i finish my calf raises, I really feel the burn, lol. Thing is, I feel it all the way up the back of my leg, to my lower buttock muscles. So, besides working my calves, is it also working my back thigh muscles and buttock muscles? Or is the afterburn just traveling up?

    then you did not isolate your calves very well. calf raise is an isolate movement that focuses on calf contraction only

    there should be no contraction on hamstrings and glutes.
