PTH Antibody (5A7) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects parathyroid hormone (PTH) in human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). PTH is a crucial 84 amino acid peptide that plays a vital role in regulating calcium metabolism by increasing blood calcium levels through various mechanisms, including stimulating bone formation, which enhances bone mass and strength in both rats and humans. The first 34 amino acids at the amino terminus of the PTH molecule are essential for its biological activity, highlighting the importance of this region in its function. The gene encoding PTH is located on human chromosome 11p15.3-p15.1, and PTH is intricately linked to parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTH-rP), which, unlike PTH, is synthesized by multiple cell types and is involved in regulating endochondral bone development and epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during mammary gland and tooth formation. PTH-rP, isolated from a human lung cancer cell line, exhibits PTH-like effects that contribute to humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy. Both PTH and PTH-rP are regulated by vitamin D and steroid hormones, and these proteins preferentially bind to specific PTH/PTH-rP receptors, activating adenylate cyclase or phospholipase C beta via protein kinase C activation. Anti-PTH antibody (5A7) serves as an invaluable tool for researchers studying calcium metabolism and related disorders, providing insights into the physiological and pathological roles of this important hormone.
