Clinical insight into hypercalcemia in children
Plasma calcium levels are regulated by many factors, including the levels of calcium-sensitive receptors, parathyroid hormone, parathyroid hormone receptors, vitamin D, vitamin D receptors, and other proteins.

What do we know about lithium associated hypercalcemia?
Introduction Lithium associated with hypercalcemia may mimic a psychiatric condition and be confused for a relapse of bipolar disorder. The etiology seems to be due to a reduced sensitivity of the parathyroid cells to calcium, altering the parathyroid ...

Purification and Characterization of a Receptor for Human Parathyroid Hormone and Parathyroid Hormone-related Peptide [PDF]
The human parathyroid hormone (PTH) receptor (hPTH1R), containing a 9-amino acid sequence of rhodopsin at its C terminus, was transiently expressed in COS-7 cells and solubilized with 0.25% n-dodecyl maltoside. Approximately 18 microg of hPTH1R were purified to homogeneity per mg of crude membranes by single-step affinity chromatography using 1D4, a ...

Megalin Antagonizes Activation of the Parathyroid Hormone Receptor [PDF]
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is predominantly cleared from the circulation by glomerular filtration and degradation in the renal proximal tubules. Here, we demonstrate that megalin, a multifunctional endocytic receptor in the proximal tubular epithelium, mediates the uptake and degradation of PTH.

FGF23 Actions on Target Tissues—With and Without Klotho
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 23 is a phosphaturic hormone whose physiologic actions on target tissues are mediated by FGF receptors (FGFR) and klotho, which functions as a co-receptor that increases the binding affinity of FGF23 for FGFRs.

Changes in Bone Metabolism and Structure in Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a key regulator of bone turnover. Depending on the duration of action, the hormone causes catabolic and anabolic effects by binding with specific receptors (PTHR1) in the bone.

Parathyroid hormone acts as a pharmacological chaperone on the parathyroid hormone receptor
Parathyroid hormone receptor (PTH1R) belongs to class B G‐protein‐coupled receptors and is the major regulator of extracellular calcium homeostasis. Binding of the native ligand parathyroid hormone (PTH) or biologically active peptide fragments of PTH to the receptor lead to the activation of Gs and Gq/G11 pathways with subsequent stimulation of ...
