Calcium is an important multifunctional signaling molecule required for biological functions such as muscle contraction, nerve conduction and blood regulation. Calcium-mediated signal transduction is the basis of many basic processes of mammalian development and reproduction. Researches show that calcium signaling plays an important role in cancer. Excessive serum calcium may be the result of excessive intake of vitamin D and calcium, increased parathyroid hormone secretion, or bone destruction after tumor metastasis to bone. Inadequate intake of calcium or vitamin D may lead to hypocalcemia.
Calcium ion in the sample bind to Methyl Thymol Blue (MTB) in alkaline solution and form blue complex. The blue complex has a specific absorption peak at 610 nm and calcium content can be calculated by measuring the OD value at 610 nm.
