Abstract excerpt
To test the hypothesis that PTH-related peptide (PTHrP) is a paracrine regulator of endochondral bone development, we localized PTHrP and its cognate receptor during normal skeletal development at both messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein levels and compared the growth plate phenotypes of PTHrP-deficient [(PTHrP(-/-)] mice to those of normal littermates [PTHrP(+/+]. PTHrP mRNA was expressed adjacent to uncavitated...
