1. Dihydrotachysterol

Dihydrotachysterol is a synthetic analog of vitamin D. Dihydrotachysterol can be used to for the research of hypocalcemia (lack of calcium in the blood) and hypoparathyroidism (lack of parathyroid hormone in the body) .

Description

Dihydrotachysterol is a synthetic analog of vitamin D. Dihydrotachysterol can be used to for the research of hypocalcemia (lack of calcium in the blood) and hypoparathyroidism (lack of parathyroid hormone in the body) [1][2].

In Vitro

Dihydrotachysterol is effective in the elevation of serum calcium by stimulating intestinal calcium absorption and mobilizing bone calcium in the absence of parathyroid hormone and of functioning renal tissue[1].
Dihydrotachysterol also increases renal phosphate excretion[1].

In Vivo

Dihydrotachysterol is a potent synthetic vitamin D analogue that is widely available but more expensive than vitamin D2. It has an onset of action and half-life between those of vitamin D2 and calcitriol. Dihydrotachysterol (initially given at 0.03 to 0.08 mg/kg/day for 2 to 3 days. The final dosages range from 0.004 to 0.04 mg/kg/day) is useful for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
