mammalian protein found in Homo sapiens

OverviewAI-generated

Parathyroid hormone is a human hormone encoded by the PTH gene. The protein has a length of 115 amino acids and a mass of 12861. Its structural and functional characteristics include a 3D-structure, cleavage on a pair of basic residues, and direct protein sequencing. The protein is classified as a hormone and has documented disease variants. Evidence for its existence is established at the protein level.

The entry for this hormone is reviewed and associated with the UniProt accession P01270. It is referenced by 339 other encyclopedia articles. ClinicalTrials.gov lists 787 studies related to parathyroid hormone.

Evidence
1: Evidence at protein level

Parathyroid hormone elevates calcium level by dissolving the salts in bone and preventing their renal excretion (PubMed:11604398, PubMed:35932760). Acts by binding to its receptor, PTH1R, activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling (PubMed:18375760, PubMed:35932760). Stimulates [1-14C]-2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) transport and glycogen synthesis in osteoblastic cells (PubMed:21076856)
