Abstract excerpt
Human parathyroid hormone (PTH) is an 84-amino acid peptide that contains two methionine (Met) residues located at positions 8 and 18. It has long been recognized that Met residues in PTH are subject to oxidation to become Met sulfoxide, resulting in a decreased biological function of the peptide. However, the mechanism of the lost biological function of PTH oxidation remains elusive. To characterize whether the...
