| description | Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a polypeptidic hormone that elevates calcium level by dissolving the salts in bone and preventing their renal excretion. Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTH-rP) is structurally related to PTH []and seems to play a physiological role in lactation, possibly as a hormone for the mobilisation and/or transfer of calcium to the milk. It also regulates chondrocytic differentiation and endochondral bone formation [].PTH and PTH-rP bind to the same G-protein coupled receptor.This entry represents parathyroid hormone and parathyroid hormone-related protein. |
