Abstract excerpt
PTH-related peptide (PTHrP) has been implicated in a variety of developmental and homeostatic processes. Although mice homozygous for the targeted disruption of the Pthrp gene have greatly expanded our capacity to investigate the developmental roles of the protein, the perinatal lethality of these animals has severely hindered the analysis of Pthrp's postnatal physiological effects. To overcome this obstacle, we...
