Biologically active parathyroid hormone in familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia. 1984

J Allgrove, and A K Sangal, and D C Low, and P H Weller, and N Loveridge

Biologically active PTH (bio-PTH) has been assayed by the cytochemical bioassay in five members (three affected) of a family with typical features of familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia (FHH). Carboxy-terminal immunoreactive PTH was undetectable and bio-PTH was within the normal range in all the subjects regardless of whether or not they were hypercalcaemic. These results suggest that increased biological activity of circulating PTH cannot account for the hypercalcaemia of FHH.

D010281 Parathyroid Hormone A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates.

D002118 Calcium 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.
