Gene structure, transcripts and calciotropic effects of the PTH family of peptides in Xenopus and chicken

Background: Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and PTH-related peptide (PTHrP) belong to a family of endocrine factors that share a highly conserved N-terminal region (amino acids 1-34) and play key roles in calcium homeostasis, bone formation and skeletal development.
