Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein (1-36) - CISMeF
Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein (1-36)NCIt concept
Preferred Label : Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein (1-36);
NCIt synonyms : PTHrP (1-36); Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein 1-36 Peptide;
NCIt definition : A recombinant form of a mature, N-terminal secretory peptide derived from a parathyroid
hormone-related protein (PTHrP) preprohormone through posttranslational endoproteolytic
processing with vasodilating, myorelaxant, and parathyroid hormone (PTH)-like calciotropic
activities. Expressed throughout the cardiovascular system, parathyroid hormone-related
protein (1-36) [PTHrP (1-36)] was first identified as the PTH-like hypercalcemic factor
of humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy; however, its sequence differs significantly
from that of PTH (1-34) although both proteins share the same N-terminal end which
accounts for the calciotropic activity. Both PTHrP (1-36) and PTH (1-34) bind to the
type 1 parathyroid hormone receptor (PTH1R), a specific seven-transmembrane-helix-containing
G protein-coupled receptor mainly located in bone and kidney cells.;
