PTH elevates calcium level by dissolving the salts in bone and preventing their renal excretion. Stimulates [1-14C]-2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) transport and glycogen synthesis in osteoblastic cells. Interacts with PTH1R (via N-terminal extracellular domain). The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Belongs to the parathyroid hormone family.
