Description
Product Characteristics: For quantitative detection of PTH in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates.
Target Information: 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).
