PTH battles TGF-beta in bone.
Nature cell biology - 1 Mar 2010
Atfi Azeddine, Baron Roland
Abstract excerpt
Bone remodelling in vertebrates is coordinately regulated by the opposing effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta). PTH couples the processes of bone resorption and formation by enforcing simultaneous internalization of TGF-beta type II receptor (TbetaRII) and PTH type 1 receptor (PTH1R), which attenuates both TGF-beta and PTH signalling in vivo.
