MeSH Heading: Parathyroid Hormone
Tree Number(s): D06.472.699.590; D12.644.548.587
Unique ID: D010281
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D010281
Annotation: /defic: consider also HYPOPARATHYROIDISM
Scope Note: 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.
