Parathyroid hormone without parathyroid glands.
In mammals, PTH is a component in a complex signaling system involving three structurally related ligands and two G protein-coupled receptors, which share significant amino acid sequence homology (Fig. 1). PTH is a peptide hormone comprising 84 amino acids that is made by the parathyroid glands (and to a much smaller extend by the thymus) and acts through the PTH/PTH-related peptide (PTHrP) rec...

متن کاملParathyroid hormone-related protein: structure, function, and measurement.
Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHRP) is a 139- to 173-amino-acid protein with N-terminal homology to parathyroid hormone (PTH). Initially isolated from tumors from patients with humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy, PTHRP appears to be of far more widespread physiological importance. Its complex gene is expressed in a surprising diversity of tissues. The primary amino acid sequences of bo...
متن کاملPTHLH (parathyroid hormone-like hormone)
DNA/RNA Description PTHLP is encoded by a single gene that is highly conserved among species. The gene is composed of 7 exons spanning a region of 13,899 bases (Start: 28,002,284 bp from pter; End: 28,016,183 bp from pter). Orientation: minus strand. The genomic DNA for the PTHLP gene was isolated from a human placental genomic library. Transcription The sequence is supported by 3 sequences fro...
