Measurement of Magnesium by Ion Selective Electrode (CAT#: STEM-ACT-0113-WXH)

Introduction

Magnesium is a component of bone; in fact 60% of the body's magnesium is stored in bone. It is also involved with the activity of bone-building cells and the parathyroid hormone, which regulates calcium levels.
Magnesium (Mg++) ions serve various physiological functions in living cells. Its primary role is as a co-factor in many enzymatic reactions, especially those involved in energy production and ATP utilization.
