Abstract excerpt
The biological function of the carboxy-terminal portion of the PTH molecule is unknown. We hypothesized that the carboxy-terminus of PTH may be essential for hormone processing and secretion. To ascertain the potential role of the carboxy-terminus in transport through the secretory pathway, we constructed a series of carboxy-terminally deleted mutants of human preproPTH. PreproPTH and these truncated peptides...
