?Stimulates osteoclastic activity (indirect action)

bone resorption.

? PTH also inhibits the synthesis of collagen by

osteoblasts.

?Net effect is in bone mass in low conc. And

ascending limb of Henle's loop) by regulating the

expression of TRPV5 channels)

On intestine

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

?Indirectly increases both Calcium and Phosphate

absorption from the small intestine by activating

vitamin D.

?Recently,calcium sensing receptors(CaSR) has been

identified on chief cells.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

?CaSR is a G- protein coupled receptor attached to

phospholipase C and on binding to Ca generates IP3

&DAG.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

?IP3 & DAG release Ca from cytosolic store and activate

protein kinase C that inhibits PTH secretion.
?Vitamin D : es formation of preproPTH
?Plasma phosphate

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

Rise in plasma phosphate : stimulates PTH

?Other factors :

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

cAMP, agonists, dopamine, histamine - level

agonists, prostaglandins - level
Mechanism of action:-

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

3 receptors:-

1. hPTH/PTHrP receptor. :binds to PTH

&PTHrP,main receptor to regulate plasma

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

calcium.

2. PTH2 (hPTH2-R) : binds to PTH, but not to

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

PTHrP . Found in brain, placenta & pancreas

3. CPTH which reacts with the carboxyl

terminal rather than the amino terminal of

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

PTH.

PTH binds to its receptors and activates both

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

adenylyl cyclase and phospholipase C pathway

PTHrP

? Another protein with PTH activity..

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

? Has 140 amino acid, encoded by gene on ch.12

whereas PTH by ch.11.

? Although both bind on same receptor

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

hPTH/PTrP, yet their physiological actions are

different.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

? PTHrP acts close to where it is formed (paracrine

factor).

? Has effect on cartilage ,brain,placenta ,smooth

muscle in utero.

? It is also present in enamel epithelium of teeth.
