Comparison between whole and intact parathyroid hormone assays.
The standard measurement of parathyroid hormone (PTH) is the intact PTH (iPTH) assay, which is used for approximately 90% of Japanese dialysis patients. The iPTH assay reacts not only with 1-84 PTH, but also with large truncated fragments of non-1-84 PTH, including 7-84 PTH. On the other hand, the whole PTH assay is specific for 1-84 PTH. The aim of the current study was to define the validity ...
متن کاملParathyroid 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 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...
متن کاملParathyroid hormone/parathyroid hormone-related peptide regulate osteosarcoma cell functions: Focus on the extracellular matrix (Review)
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a primary bone tumor of mesenchymal origin mostly affecting children and adolescents. The OS extracellular matrix (ECM) is extensively altered as compared to physiological bone tissue. Indeed, the main characteristic of the most common osteoblastic subtype of OS is non‑mineralized osteoid production. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a polypeptide hormone secreted by the chief c...
متن کاملTurn-on switch in parathyroid hormone receptor by a two-step parathyroid hormone binding mechanism.
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and its related receptor (PTHR) are essential regulators of calcium homeostasis and bone physiology. PTH activates PTHR by interacting with a ligand-binding site localized within the N-terminal extracellular domain (the N-domain) and the domain comprising the seven transmembrane helices and the connecting extracellular loops (the J-domain). PTH binding triggers a confo...
