Moderate cytoplasmic and occasional membranous immunoreactivity was observed in several pancreatic, urothelial, skin cancers along with a few cases of cervical, ovarian, gastric and colorectal cancers. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PTHLH (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
HHM, PLP, PTHR, PTHRP
Description
Parathyroid hormone-like hormone (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the parathyroid hormone family. This hormone, via its receptor, PTHR1, regulates endochondral bone development and epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during the formation of the mammary glands and teeth. It is responsible for most cases of humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy, and mutations in this gene are associated with brachydactyly type E2 (BDE2). Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. There is also evidence for alternative translation initiation from non-AUG (CUG and GUG) start sites, downstream of the initiator AUG codon, resulting in nuclear forms of this hormone.
