Abstract excerpt
Parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP), which frequently causes the humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy syndrome, is an autocrine/paracrine regulator of chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation that acts through the PTH/PTHrP receptor (PTH1R). PTHrP is generated in response to Indian hedgehog (Ihh), which mediates its actions through the membrane receptor patched, but interacts also with...
