The protein encoded by this gene is a hormone secreted by parathyroid cells. This hormone elevates blood Ca2+ level by dissolving the salts in bone and preventing their renal excretion. Defects in this gene are a cause of familial isolated hypoparathyroidism (FIH). (provided by RefSeq)
Immunogen
PTH (NP_000306.1, 1 a.a. ~ 115 a.a) full-length human protein.
PTH (parathyroid hormone) is an important regulatory hormone for calcium homeostasis. In chronic kidney disease, hyperparathyroidism caused due to increased levels of PTH leads to arteriosclerotic fibrosis and calcification. Elevation in the levels of PTH might be associated with hypertension, bone disease and also in few cases it results in death due to cardiovascular disease. PTH is known to induce the secretion of aldosterone hormone in adrenocortex.
