PTH
Also known as: Parathyroid Hormone
Use
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is expressed in normal parathyroid tissue, parathyroid adenomas, and in primary and secondary hyperplasia of the parathyroid. This antibody is useful in the differential diagnosis of autoimmune disorders involving the parathyroid gland resulting in production of anti‑PTH and hypoparathyroidism.
