Notes
The Antibody Pair can be used to quantify Human PTH. BSA and Azide free antibody pairs include unconjugated capture and detector antibodies suitable for sandwich ELISAs. The antibodies are provided at an approximate concentration of 1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method. The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Both capture and detector antibodies are rabbit monoclonal antibodies delivering consistent, specific, and sensitive results.
For additional information on the performance of the antibody pair, see the equivalent SimpleStep ELISA® Kit (Human PTH ELISA Kit ab230931), which uses the same antibodies. However, due to differences in their formulation, this antibody pair cannot be used with the consumables provided with our SimpleStep ELISA Kits. Please note that the range provided for the pairs is only an estimation based on the performance of the related product using the same antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody pair in your assay.
Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.
Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with <1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.
The pair can be used in variety of assays and platforms including but not limited to:
- Sandwich ELISA
- FRET/TR-FRET/HTRF
- Meso Scale Discovery® (MSD®)

- Activity summary
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) also known as the parathyrin is a hormone protein with a molecular mass of about 9.4 kDa. It is synthesized and secreted by the chief cells of the parathyroid glands. PTH plays an important role in regulating calcium levels in the blood. Its molecular action involves binding to PTH receptors which are mainly located in bones and kidneys to increase calcium concentration by promoting its release from bones and reabsorption in the kidneys. This hormone is also present in the bloodstream as a parathyroid hormone peptide.
- Biological function summary
PTH regulates calcium and phosphate metabolism in the body. It does not function as part of a larger complex but acts independently to control these important minerals. The hormone affects osteoclast activity in bones enhancing calcium and phosphate release. Additionally in the kidneys it reduces phosphate reabsorption while increasing calcium reabsorption. This balance maintained by PTH is essential for bone health and metabolic functions often associated with parathyroid hormone-related proteins in its activity.
- Pathways
PTH is integral to the calcium signaling pathway and the renal phosphate reabsorption pathway. PTH works in concert with vitamin D to enhance intestinal calcium absorption. Calcitriol the active form of vitamin D depends on PTH for its synthesis in the kidneys linking the two in calcium homeostasis. Through these pathways PTH also interacts with the calcitonin hormone to moderate calcium levels creating a balance between mineral deposition and resorption in bones.
- Associated diseases and disorders
PTH is closely associated with hyperparathyroidism and hypoparathyroidism known as pan hypoparathyroidism when complete underactivity of the parathyroid glands occurs. In hyperparathyroidism an overproduction of PTH leads to high blood calcium levels and associated symptoms. Conversely hypoparathyroidism results in low calcium levels due to insufficient PTH secretion. Both conditions affect calcium metabolism and relate to proteins like calcium-sensing receptor and PTH-related peptide highlighting how critical PTH's function is in endocrine and metabolic health.
