Other Names | Parathyroid hormone, PTH, Parathormone, Parathyrin, PTH |
Target Background | Polypeptide hormones secreted by the parathyroid glands, which promote release of calcium from bone to extracellular fluid by activating osteoblasts and inhibiting osteoclasts, indirectly promote increased intestinal absorption of calcium, and promote renal tubular reabsorption of calcium and increased renal excretion of phosphates. It is a major regulator of bone metabolism. Secretion of parathyroid hormone increases when the level of calcium in the extracellular fluid is low. Its action is opposed by calcitonin. |
Name | PTH {ECO:0000303|PubMed:35932760, ECO:0000312|HGNC:HGNC:9606} |

Function | 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). |
