This article critically reviews the current state of knowledge regarding the recently identified
and cloned novel hormone parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP). PTHrP is …

Liver progenitor cells as well as hepatic stellate cells have neuroendocrine features.
Progenitor cells express chromogranin‐A and neural cell adhesion molecule, parathyroid …

A protein with biological activities similar to parathyroid hormone (PTH) has been purified
from serum-free culture medium obtained from a human lung cancer cell line (BEN). A major …

A variety of solid tumors secrete proteins that are immunochemically distinct from
parathyroid hormone (PTH) but activate PTH-responsive adenylate cyclase. Such PTH-like …

Humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy is a common paraneoplastic syndrome which is
characterized by hypercalcemia resulting from secretion by tumors of a circulating bone …

A synthetic peptide corresponding to the first 34 amino acids of the parathyroid hormone-
related protein (PTH-rP) produced by a human tumor associated with hypercalcemia was …

of a tumor peptide which is associated with hypercalcemia of malignancy, and [Nle8, Nle18 …

A peptide mitogen for cultured osteoblast-like cells was purified from aerum-free conditioned
culture medium of a human prostatic cancer cell line, PC-3. Based on amino acid …

PTH-like peptide (PLP) is produced by tumors commonly associated with hypercalcemia as
well as nonneoplastic tissues and several endocrine glands and tumors. To characterize the …
