PTH2

Also known as TIP39, parathyroid hormone 2

Tuberoinfundibular peptide of 39 residues is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PTH2 gene.

Gene data

PTH2

Name: parathyroid hormone 2
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: TIP39

This gene encodes the precursor of a peptide hormone that shares sequence similarity with the parathyroid hormone. This gene is expressed in various regions of the brain where it plays a role in the release of pituitary hormones, anxiety and nociception. The encoded precursor protein is proteolytically processed to generate the biologically active neuropeptide. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015].

Tuberoinfundibular peptide of 39 residues is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PTH2 gene.

TIP39 is related to parathyroid hormone (PTH; MIM 168450) and PTH-related protein (PTHRP; MIM 168470) and is a ligand for PTH receptor-2 (PTHR2; MIM 601469) (John et al., 2002).[supplied by OMIM]
