Parathyroid hormone molecule
Parathyroid hormone molecule. Computer model showing the structure of parathyroid hormone (PTH), or parathormone. Atoms are colour-coded (carbon: dark grey, hydrogen: light grey, oxygen: red, and nitrogen: blue). PTH is secreted by the parathyroid glands in the neck. It acts to regulate the concentration of calcium and phosphorus in the blood

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate structure of the Parathyroid hormone molecule (PTH). Against a pristine white background, this computer-generated model highlights the complexity and beauty of this vital biochemical compound. The atoms are meticulously color-coded, with carbon in dark grey, hydrogen in light grey, oxygen in red, and nitrogen in blue. The PTH molecule plays a crucial role as a regulator within our bodies. Secreted by the parathyroid glands located in the neck, it acts to maintain optimal levels of calcium and phosphorus in our bloodstream. This molecular structure is composed of polypeptides arranged into alpha helices that form its unique shape. With its space-filled representation and detailed composition, this image provides an invaluable resource for researchers and students studying biochemistry or endocrinology. It offers insights into how hormones like PTH interact with other molecules within our biological systems. Beyond its scientific significance, this visually striking print serves as a reminder of the wonders found at microscopic levels. Its aesthetic appeal lies not only in its scientific accuracy but also in its ability to inspire curiosity about the complex mechanisms that govern life itself.
