GlossaryParathyroid Hormone-related Protein

regulates calcium levels and influences bone development

Parathyroid Hormone-related Protein (PTHrP) is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating calcium levels in the body, similar to parathyroid hormone (PTH). It is involved in various physiological processes, including the development of bones and the regulation of cellular growth and differentiation. PTHrP is also significant in certain medical conditions, such as hypercalcemia of malignancy, where it can be produced in excess by some types of cancer cells.
